BrowserStack software testing platform has announced the acquisition of Bird Eats Bug, a bug reporting tool. This acquisition brings Bird Eats Bug’s powerful capabilities into BrowserStack’s ecosystem. BrowserStack has launched Bug Capture, a solution for manual testing. Bird Eats Bug marks BrowserStack’s fifth acquisition since Percy, a visual testing platform, in 2020.
“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.”
Bug Capture allows teams to debug issues 30% faster on average. The key features include instant replays, screen recording, and comprehensive auto-captured technical logs, such as console and network logs, system details, and steps to reproduce—all consolidated into one clean bug report. These features work in harmony to eliminate the need for extensive back-and-forth between testers, product managers, developers, support teams, and customers. BrowserStack’s best-in-class internal software engineering team, comprising over 500 developers, will continue to innovate and integrate Bug Capture into its expanding test platform.
