Sauce Labs, the San Francisco-headquartered continuous testing specialist, has lured Brad Adelberg from Oracle to become the firm’s new vice president of engineering.
Adelberg, an experienced agile development executive, will be responsible for leading the teams that develop Sauce Labs’ cloud-based testing solutions “to meet customer demands for a highly reliable and scalable continuous testing platform,” the company said in a statement shared with QA Financial.
Adelberg brings more than 20 years of experience to his position at Sauce Labs. Working at both startups and large corporations, he joins the company from Oracle, where he spent six years as vice president of development focusing on data integration.
Before that, he was vice president of engineering at startup C3. During his time there, Adelberg most notably led the development of what is now the C3 IoT Platform.
“As we enter our next phase of growth, we need to innovate more quickly.”

“Adelberg’s proven track record for successfully leading geographically dispersed development teams made the hiring decision easy,” explained Charles Ramsey, CEO of Sauce Labs.
“As we enter our next phase of growth, we need to innovate more quickly. I’m confident that Adelberg is the right leader to guide our engineering team through the changes required to accelerate innovation.”
Before entering the development and engineering space, Adelberg studied for 10 years at Stanford University, where he received his bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and a doctorate in electrical engineering.
He also taught computer science for four years at Northwestern University, just outside Chicago in Illinois.
Commenting on his new role, Adelberg said: “We are solving a core problem for modern development teams and I am energized to work alongside Sauce’s talented group of engineers to add even more value to our continuous testing platform.”
Sauce Labs runs what is generally considered the world’s largest cloud-based platform for the automated testing of web and mobile applications. The company is owned and funded by a range of big investors, including Toba Capital, Salesforce Ventures, Centerview Capital Technology, IVP and Adams Street Partners.
