QA firm TestFly acquires Brazilian testing company Red Cerberus

TestFly, a self-described “leading provider of strategic and innovative quality assurance testing solutions” for the gaming industry has acquired Brazilian testing firm Red Cerberus from tinyBuild.

TestFly stopped short of outlining the terms of the acquisition, but some outlets report it was a $1.5m cash deal. The firm said the acquisition will “significantly expand TestFly’s capabilities by integrating Red Cerberus’ highly skilled team of some 180 professionals and state-of-the-art testing facilities.”

“The combined organization will provide enhanced automation tools and 24/7 testing coverage through a follow-the-sun model, and increased support across console, PC, and mobile platforms,” the company said in a statement.

Red Cerberus said the integration into TestFly is already underway and will not interrupt ongoing service for its clients and employees.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Red Cerberus to the TestFly family. Their expertise, reputation, and deep industry knowledge perfectly align with our mission to set new standards in game testing,” said TestFly CEO Kevin Chelius.

“This acquisition reinforces our commitment to helping developers and publishers deliver reliable and high-quality gaming experiences at a global scale, while also strengthening our presence in Latin America.”

Parent company tinyBuild CEO Alex Nichiporchik added: “The sale of Red Cerberus marks an important milestone in streamlining our portfolio and focusing on what we do best – creating and growing great IP.

“Red Cerberus has been a valuable partner in our journey, and I’d like to thank the entire team for their dedication.”
