MuTek of Yehud this week signed an agreement with Microsoft for the supply of its quality control solution to the software giant’s development, testing and support groups.
The product, named BugTrapper, is already being iused in a hundred of Microsoft’s various product developments, including the Explorer browser, Outlook and Office software packages.
David Erb, development manager, Internal Tools Group, Microsoft Corporation said BugTrapper "increases company productivity by enabling developers to locate and fix software bugs, particularly complicated ones hard to reproduce." Erb says the product reduces the development time frame, and is an important tool in Microsoft’s development arsenal.
MuTek chief executive officer Lev Zaidenberg said that it was a huge step for the company. He said that BugTrapper was introduced in the US only a few months ago, and was already being used by hundreds of companies.
MuTek was founded in 1996, and has two bases, in Yehud and Sunnyvale, California. Investors include the Starr Fund, Evergreen, the Mofet fund, Clal funds and Ampal. The company’s most recent round of fundraising was last year, when the company raised $6 million.
Mofet Fund representative on MuTek’s board, Eli Bar said that the company is about to issue again, probably at the end of the current quarter.
