No. The GPL version 2 license does not require you to adopt the GPL license for your programs that call the TestMaker API. If your software project is a derivative of TestMaker source code then the GPL rules say that you must publish your source code for the benefit of the user community. Writing your software to interact with the TestMaker API (service interface) means there is no requirement for your company to adopt the GPL license.
