Company

[edit]

Bitbar was founded in 2009, with offices in Cambridge, United Kingdom, Wrocław, Poland, and Oulu, Finland.[1] Marko Kaasila is a founder and serves as chief executive officer.[2] Other founders included Sakari Rautiainen and Jouko Kaasila. Initial seed funding came from angel investors and Finnvera Venture Capital in December 2012.[3][4] By 2013, Bitbar was reported to have offices in San Francisco, Helsinki and in Wrocław.[5] An investment of US$3 million was announced in April 2013, from Creathor Ventures, DFJ Esprit, Finnvera Venture Capital, Finland's TEKES and Qualcomm.[6][7] Investors were quoted as being attracted because customers already included Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flipboard, Pinterest, and eBay.[8]

In May 2014, a research by the company found out several aspects that fragment Android ecosystem for developers and users.[9]

In September 2014, company enabled free access to Intel Atom based Android devices for mobile application and game testers.[10][11]

Products

[edit]

Testdroid[12] comprises three different products: Testdroid Cloud, Testdroid Recorder and Testdroid Enterprise. Testdroid provides an application programming interface through open source software available on GitHub.[13] Testdroid can use testing frameworks, such as Robotium, Appium[14] and uiautomator for native and Selenium for web applications, targeted for mobile application and game developers.

Testdroid Cloud contains real Android[15] and iOS powered devices, some of which are available for users.[16][17] Testdroid Cloud lets users run tests simultaneously on cloud-based service.[18]

Testdroid Recorder is a tool for developers and testers for recording user-actions and producing JUnit based test cases on mobile application and games.[19] Testdroid Recorder is available at the Eclipse marketplace.[20]

Testdroid Enterprise is a server software for managing automated testing on multiple real Android and iOS powered devices, supporting Gradle[21] build system and Jenkins Continuous Integration.

Testdroid appeared at Google I/O in 2012 and 2013.[22][23]
