UTest Acquires Apphance In 7-Figure Deal As Mobile Developer Tools Consolidate
Some consolidation in the area of companies that offer tools to mobile developers, specifically in the area of quality testing -- a must-have for developers working in the highly fragmented world of smartphones and tablets. Boston-based uTest has made its first strategic acquisition: Poland-basedApphance, which it is buyingfrom its parent company Polidea in a seven-figure deal, consisting of cash and uTest equity for Polidea.As part of the deal, uTest is picking up all of Apphance's intellectual property, as well as 10 engineers who work on it, to add to uTest's existing team of 100 employees. And it will continue to sell and develop the product -- which helps developers test apps for bugs and distribute new versions of those apps. It will from now be marketed as uTest Apphance and will be offered to developers free of charge for the rest of 2012 to help promote it.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/vao8ZpcxRiE/
