SmartBear Software, AutomatedQA and Pragmatic Software have merged to form a new company, which will make enterprise-class software development and testing tools easily accessible to small and large development teams at lesser cost.
The three companies have joined forces to better meet the market’s need with complementary tools such as AutomatedQA’s automated testing tool TestComplete, SmartBear’s CodeCollaborator tool, and SoftwarePlanner of Pragmatic Software.
SmartBear tools are designed to work well together across development and QA processes which result in an improved team collaboration, efficiency and better software quality.
SmartBear said that its tool lowers the barrier to quality software development by offering ‘right-size’ tools that get the job done well at a reasonable price.
Joe Krivickas, CEO of SmartBear Software, said: "SmartBear brings together ‘Smart Tools’ for development teams that care about quality and performance at a great price.
Unlike bloated, heavy-weight quality assurance and development suites that have crushed the life out of both small and large development teams, our community of 75,000 developers and testers has seen great value in our tools that are simple to try and deploy, and that easily scale to the needs of enterprise users.
"The team gets the right tool for the job, when they need it, greatly improving efficiency, team collaboration and software quality."
"We are also committed to providing vision, thought leadership and expertise to the developers and testers of the world, in order to serve a thriving community dedicated to improving software quality."
