Software testing services provider Sauce Labs bought Backtrace, a US-based developer of software error monitoring technology, for an undisclosed amount yesterday, allowing database software producer 60 East Technologies to exit.
Backtrace is the creator of a tool which automates respondes to errors in coding reported by software developers and engineers regarding products across desktop computers, mobile devices, game consoles and servers.
The company launched in 2014 with an undisclosed amount of funding from 60East, Icon Venture Partners, Tribeca Venture Partners and assorted angel investors. It added $5m in series A funding from Amplify Partners, Work-Bench, Rally Ventures and Tribeca Venture Partners in 2016, reportedly taking its total funding to $6.1m.
Abel Mathew, co-founder and chief executive of Backtrace, said: “Sauce Labs and Backtrace are the perfect pairing for organisations that understand the importance of shifting both left and right to create the continuous feedback loop necessary to drive quality at speed.
“Sauce Labs shares the commitment to innovation, passion for customer success, and dedication to serving the game creator and developer communities that have made Backtrace into the company it is today. We could not be more excited about the opportunity to continue our journey as part of Sauce Labs.”
