Atlassian, the Sydney-headquartered software company, has announced an investment in Headspin, the California-based AI testing firm. Details of the investment have not been disclosed, but the stated aim is to allow Atlassian customers access to HeadSpin technologies, as well as providing funding to further develop the HeadSpin platform.
