ADOC and Synopsys Japan VAR Partner Agreement Finalized
With vulnerability diagnosis tool "Seeker" and test automation, ensure advanced
quality assurance DX

ICT engineering and test automation solution provider ADOC International Co., Ltd. (headquarters:Tachikawa City, Tokyo, CEO: Joji Kobayashi / hereinafter referred to as ADOC) has announced that
it will collaborate with Synopsys Japan LLC (headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, President:
Tomoyuki Kawarai / hereinafter referred to as Synopsys) and Synopsys’s web application
vulnerability testing (security testing) tool “Seeker®”. ADOC is the first in Japan to enter a VAR(Value Added Reseller) agreement for this product, providing advanced solutions that will transformthe internal ecosystem of software quality assurance.
ADOC has systematized "AQUADOCX", a quality assurance DX service for corporate development
departments and IT engineering firms that helps resolve various issues related to software quality
to achieve earlier quality stabilization and a reduction in development costs. The service includes"quality plan formulation support service" to support the early stages of software development,"development & test environment construction solution" to support quick and flexible operation ofenvironments that improves efficiency of development and testing processes, and "testing solution"
to improve QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) of services by applying advanced automated testingstrategies.
As a VAR partner and under the AQUADOCX service, ADOC will dramatically improve theproductivity of customers' web application development lifecycle by linking Seeker's advanced andsecure functions with Eggplant, an AI-powered test automation tool. This will enable a “shift left”
CI/CD implementation, which enables the vulnerability diagnosis process to be brought forward, andto automate security integration in all phases of the development lifecycle from design to integration,testing, implementation, and software delivery.

About Synopsys Seeker
In recent years, as companies advance DX, responding to web application security risks has
become an urgent issue. Seeker is an industry-leading IAST (Interactive Application SecurityTesting) tool for web applications, automatically performing vulnerability diagnosis and functional
testing simultaneously to check whether the application is working as expected. It detects
vulnerabilities quickly and at low-cost, to ensure high-level application security.

Seeker’s Features and Benefits●Detect vulnerabilities in applications at an early development stage while dynamically
executing tests●By shifting left in the developmental lifecycle, DevSecOps can be performed throughCI/CD integration●Does not require the high level of expertise required for traditional testing methods, andhas low implementation and operation hurdles; reducing costs●Few false positives and its high speed and accuracy of vulnerability detection prevents
development delays and optimizes man-hours"Quality Assurance DX" by Seeker and Eggplant integration
AQUADOCX is DX solution that supports early stage of software development, from projectplanning to the design stage, it aims to fundamentally improve quality by supporting the evolution of
the internal ecosystem (organization, culture, employees, etc.) through the creation of anenvironment that optimizes the efficiency of the development and testing process, high agility andflexible operations, and the application of automated testing-related tools for the implementation ofCI/CD.
In order for IAST tools such as Seeker to perform at their full potential, it is essential to perform
highly efficient and comprehensive functional tests. Combining it with Eggplant achieves highaccuracy, overwhelming coverage and an overall extremely effective testing strategy.
The AQUADOCX service enables comprehensive, highly accurate, and quick automatic detectionof vulnerabilities in web applications. Linking Seeker and Eggplant, results in software to be released
as planned and a reduced rework in quality assurance projects. It can be used as an alternative to
traditional DAST tools and penetration tests, or it can significantly reduce the requirements for theirexecution. By incorporating security measures from an early stage, it is possible to implement a
shift-left CI/CD and DevSecOps development environment.
