LambdaTest has closed a total of $45
million in a venture round led by Premji Invest with participation from
existing investors Sequoia Capital India, Telstra Ventures, Blume Ventures, and
Leo Capital. Sandeep Johri, Ex-CEO and present board member of Tricentis, has
also angel invested in this round.
LambdaTest, which is on
a mission to push the boundaries of execution speed, performance and
reliability of test execution, will use the funding for new product innovation.
A part of the funds will be used to enhance the existing product capabilities
and accelerate growth. The company is also looking to hire across multiple
roles and geographies.
LambdaTest's core test
execution platform allows users to test their websites and apps on over 3,000
different combinations of browsers, operating systems, and their many versions,
and also real devices. Testing of digital assets is important for businesses as
they have little to no control over the preferences of their customers when it
comes to phones, browsers or operating systems. Hence to provide a seamless
customer experience businesses have to be on top of their testing game.
More importantly, with
the ever-increasing pace of innovation in the digital world, testing is
shifting left, which means that software testing is performed from the very
early stages of product development and involves both developers and testers
(QA), as compared to the earlier ‘waterfall' model where testing was the last
step before the product launch. This increasing need has made businesses yearn
for cloud-based solutions that have been optimized for speed, performance, and
reliability.
"We are razor focussed
on making the lives of developers and QA teams easier when it comes to test
orchestration and execution. Over the past few months, we've released HyperExecute, a next-gen smart
test orchestration platform to help businesses run end-to-end automation tests
at the fastest speed possible. We will soon be launching our test intelligence
platform Test-at-Scale (TAS).
It is already in beta. We are also continuously enhancing our core execution
platform's capabilities," said Asad Khan, co-founder and CEO at
LambdaTest. "This funding round will enable us to keep innovating and
accelerating growth. We are on a mission to build the best test execution
platform for the developers and testers community."
Founded in 2017,
LambdaTest had earlier raised close to $25 million in funding from investment
firms such as Sequoia Capital India, Telstra Ventures, Leo Capital Holdings, Blume
Ventures, and others.
LambdaTest's platform
is used by over 1 million developers and testers globally. The company has run
more than 100 million tests since its inception and has grown its business by
300% in the last year. Using the company's offerings, its customers were able
to achieve 95% quicker time-to-market, increase their release productivity by
62% and identify 67% of issues prior to launch.
"LambdaTest is helping
businesses orchestrate their test execution by providing them cost-effective
and scalable solutions while giving them improved control over their existing
infrastructure without the need to add more to it. They are pushing the
boundaries of speed, reliability and performance of test execution. We are
happy to partner with this super ambitious LambdaTest team that is looking to
change the face of test execution," said Atul Gupta, Partner, Premji
Invest.
