GameDriver releases Eponymous IX, receives seed funding

When we play a game, we never think about how it has so few bugs. We just focus on the game. The reality is that hundreds of hours go into testing. While the life of a QA (quality assurance) tester might not be glamorous, GameDriver hopes to make it a bit easier.
Eponymous IX, GameDriver’s new testing software, works with 2D, 3D, and AR/VR games. It does local or remote testing for PC, consoles, mobile, single and multi-player games for Windows, MAC, Andriod, and iOS. The new testing suite is fully compatible with the Unity engine and also works with NUnit, Jenkins, MSTest, BitBar, and Oculus. If you don’t see your engine in that description, check back, because GameDriver plans to cover more engines including Unreal.
As well as releasing Eponymous IX, GameDriver announced they have closed the seed round of their funding. The company received a $2 million USD investment from lead investor Panoramic Ventures. This capital will allow for product expansion and company growth.
“Panoramic Ventures already has an active presence in test automation, so GameDriver is a seamless fit in our portfolio,” said Dan Drechsel, General Partner at Panoramic Ventures. “We’re excited to be a part of a milestone advancement in addressing the numerous challenges facing testing processes in the gaming vertical. GameDriver’s suite of automated testing tools is set to see extensive growth and an accelerated adoption rate and I’m thrilled to assist the eager team at GameDriver in this stage of the company’s life.”
