Software UX Researcher Raises $200k in Brazil

In Brazil, software experience tester DeskMetrics has closed a $200k initial round of funding from an unnamed group of regional angel investors.

Founded in October by Bernardo Porto (pictured at the launch), Alison Patrício and Andersson Porto, DeskMetrics provides tools and services to help developers track how their customers are using desktop applications.

The firm provides a way to keep track of consumer behavior, environments and additional tools such as automatic version updating.

According to online technology news site TechCrunch, the firm's service is a lot like a 'web analytics service for the desktop', which enables developers to tell when users have installed or uninstalled an app, or even which buttons they are clicking within an application.
