Analyst Quote:
“Demand for greater business agility is driving the majority of new application
implementations and changes, and it requires the optimization of every aspect
of the application’s lifecycle.
When it comes to delivering applications that meet the needs of the business,
quality assurance teams must look for ways to greatly accelerate their testing
cycles in order to meet increasingly stringent schedules from business and
application teams.”
