LambdaTest, a cloud-based software testing platformhas raised $38 million in a Series D funding round as it looks to expand its presence in existing markets and enhance its AI capabilities.

The Series D was led by Avataar Ventures and saw participation from Qualcomm Ventures. This brings LambdaTest’s total funding to $108 million.

LambdaTest provides infrastructure that allows businesses to test their applications on over 5,000 browser and operating system combinations. Instead of setting up and managing expensive test suites, companies can use LambdaTest’s cloud platform to see if their software performs as expected in different environments. LambdaTest also runs labs with thousands of devices to test.

The investment comes as software testing faces increasing pressure from the rise of AI-generated code. According to LambdaTest’s survey of more than 1,600 enterprise teams, only 23% of testing bandwidth is spent on test creation and planning, and significant time is spent on maintenance and operational tasks. such as fixing broken tests, sorting and debugging, and setting up test environments.

The startup recently launched the KaneAI platform, which it describes as an “AI-native quality assurance agent as a service,” aimed at automating many tedious testing tasks. According to LambdaTest, the system can reduce manual testing script generation efforts by 40-70%.

“KaneAI is more than a tool: it’s a transformative approach to quality assurance, enabling teams to test smarter and faster, with less manual effort,” said Asad Khan, CEO and co-founder from LambdaTest. “Our foundation on LambdaTest’s cloud platform gives us an advantage in delivering this solution at scale. »

The company also claims its HyperExecute platform allows teams to run tests up to 70% faster than traditional cloud grids, with 2.5x faster test resolution and 60% better error detection. fast.

The startup also developed features such as identifying irregular tests, which PWC said helped reduce the time spent reporting and analyzing errors by 40%. Its test intelligence system offers automatic error categorization and intelligent analytics, as well as automatic failed test retries and test reordering for faster feedback, LambdaTest said.

“As cloud and on-device AI applications become more prevalent, continuous testing with AI-driven automation is essential to accelerate release cycles and improve CI/pipeline efficiency. CD,” said Quinn Li, Qualcomm senior vice president and global head of Qualcomm. Businesses. “The comprehensive LambdaTest product suite transforms software quality assurance with AI-driven autonomous testing systems. We are delighted to support their journey.

The startup, which competes with companies like BrowserStack and SauceLabs, plans to deploy new capital to penetrate deeper into its existing markets and expand its technology stack.

“Asad and his team are a force of nature to be reckoned with: in a short span of time, they have disrupted the entire market,” Nishant Rao, founding partner of Avataar Ventures, said in a statement. “From creating the first AI-native no-code QA solution to launching the only secure, truly e2e Enterprise test orchestration platform, they have been a game-changer. »

LambdaTest, whose backers include Premji Invest, Peak retail and healthcare. Since its inception in 2017, users have completed more than 1.2 billion tests on the platform to date, the company said.

Avendus advised LambdaTest for the new funding round.
