To strengthen testing practice

Hyderabad , Aug. 22

AppLabs Technologies, a software testing and development services company, on Tuesday announced plans to hire about 600 employees by the year-end and has opened a new office in Hyderabad.

The Founder and CEO of AppLabs Technologies, Mr Sashi Reddi, in a statement said "the global software testing services market is on a growth curve, and AppLabs is strongly positioned and aiming to capture a substantial portion of this opportunity. "The latest expansion is in line with the strategic focus we are taking to meet the growing business".

Founded in 2001, AppLabs currently has over 1,000 employees globally and is an early player in the software testing space, offering services in global software vulnerability and helps enterprises and independent hardware and software vendors improve quality assurance throughout the development lifecycle.

AppLabs' more than 400 clients include American Airlines, SAP, Broderbund, American Stock Exchange and MSNBC.

Earlier this quarter, AppLabs secured an additional round of funding from Sequoia Capital Partner of about $10 million.

Located at Cyber Towers, Madhapur, near here, the company's new facility can accommodate about 500 people. This brings the total square footage of office space leased by AppLabs in Hyderabad to 120,000 and the total seating capacity to 1,500.
