"We are going to double down on solving new developer problems in the space of DevOps testing," says Ritesh Arora, Co-founder and CEO, BrowserStack, which counts Amazon, Tesco and Ikea as customers.

"Our recent acquisition of Percy, a visual testing platform, was just the start.”

“We will accelerate the rate at which we take new products to market through acquisitions and investment in our product and engineering teams. We want to achieve our vision of becoming the testing infrastructure for the internet."

"As software continues to rewire everything, the bar on speed and quality continues to rise, and testing software across the expanding number of browsers and devices is a huge and expensive challenge for development teams to manage on their own," says Jay Simons, General Partner at BOND.

"BrowserStack makes this simple and cost-effective, giving developers instant access to the widest range of browser and device configurations to test their applications. This product is an absolute boon for today's web and app developers."
