Strengthening developer tools while honoring open-source principles
With this partnership, Xceed will integrate Fluent Assertions into its suite of development tools, bringing the power of expressive, readable assertions to a broader audience of .NET developers.
Fluent Assertions is now offered under a paid Xceed commercial license but will continue to honour free licenses for open-source, non-commercial projects.
“We are thrilled to welcome Fluent Assertions into the Xceed family,” said Bernard Prevost, President of Xceed Software Inc. “This partnership is a testament to our dedication to fostering innovation through collaboration. By working closely with the original creators of Fluent Assertions, we can ensure the tool continues to thrive and deliver exceptional value to developers worldwide, while providing enhanced support and new features through our commercial version.”
Leveraging past successes
Xceed has a strong track record of successful partnerships with open-source projects, integrating community-driven innovation with professional-grade support and development. This approach not only enriches Xceed’s product offerings but also ensures the sustained growth and success of the partnered projects. Previous Xceed partnerships have shown that combining open-source accessibility with premium support options enhances the user experience and project sustainability.
Continued community engagement and premium offerings
Fluent Assertions’ original contributors will remain actively involved, serving as global ambassadors and contributing to the project’s ongoing development. This collaboration ensures that the tool retains its open-source ethos while benefiting from Xceed’s extensive resources and expertise.
Benefits for commercial enterprises
The commercial version of Fluent Assertions will provide significant benefits for companies with commercial purposes. Businesses will have access to:
- Enhanced features: Advanced functionalities and tools designed to improve productivity and efficiency in software development.
