Novas is partly owned by Tawain-based EDA company Springsoft, which developed the underlying debug technology[1]. Until 2008, Novas grew to employ over 50 people with office locations across the world including Texas, New Hampshire, the United Kingdom, Japan, Korea, India, Israel and other locations. The company headquarters are in San Jose, California. Novas was purchased by Taiwan-based Springsoft in May 2008.
