BrowserStack, the world’s leading software testing platform, has acquired Bird Eats Bug, an advanced bug reporting tool.
Orrick advised BrowserStack, which is valued at $4 billion.
This strategic move brings Bird Eats Bug’s powerful capabilities into BrowserStack’s ecosystem, culminating in the launch of Bug Capture, a game-changing solution for manual testing.
BrowserStack is the world’s leading software testing platform, powering over two million tests every day across 19 global data centers. BrowserStack helps customers deliver quality software at speed by moving testing to their cloud. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, BrowserStack is a privately held company backed by Accel, Bond, and Insight Partners.
Bird Eats Bug is an innovative bug reporting tool designed to streamline the process of capturing and communicating software issues. By automatically collecting crucial information such as visual proof, console logs and system details, Bird Eats Bug has helped thousands of teams improve their bug reporting workflows and accelerate their development processes. Founded in 2020, the company is headquartered in Berlin, Germany.
Bird Eats Bug marks BrowserStack’s fifth acquisition since 2020. With its frictionless bug-filling experience and unique IP, Bird Eats Bug is a highly matured product that has garnered significant developer love, boasting over 30,000 users.
“This acquisition marks a significant step towards our goal of providing developer and QA teams with a unified, seamless testing experience,” said Ritesh Arora, CEO and co-founder of BrowserStack.
“By integrating Bug Capture’s innovative approach to bug reporting into our platform, we’re not just streamlining workflows; we’re boosting development teams’ productivity so they can focus more on building great products and less on managing the intricacies of the testing process.”
