SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Micro Focus
(LSE:MCRO; NYSE:MFGP) today announced that it has been named a
leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Enterprise Automated
Software Quality 2017-2018 Vendor Assessment – Driving Business
Optimization via DevOps with Continuous Test and Integration (Doc
#US41601117, December 2017). The
report examines Automated Software Quality (ASQ) adoption trends
and their influence on organizational success through the
development of secure, high-quality software.
In addition to being named a leader in the IDC MarketScape for
Worldwide Enterprise Automated Software Quality, Micro Focus is
also positioned as a leader in three related ASQ reports including
the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud Testing and ASQ SaaS 2017-2018
Vendor Assessment (Doc #US41601017, February
2018), the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Software Quality
Analysis and Measurement 2017-2018 Vendor Assessment (Doc
#US41601217, December 2017), and
theIDC MarketScape: Mobile Testing and Digital Quality 2017-2018
Vendor Assessment (Doc #US40344615, February
2018).
Speed matters, and to remain relevant as many business models
are being disrupted, organizations need to accelerate the pace of
innovation without compromising quality or security. This
recognition is validation of Micro Focus's portfolio in giving
businesses a competitive edge to accelerate their application
delivery and ensure quality at every stage of the application
lifecycle – from the first backlog item to the user experience in
production.
In the report, IDC Research Director Melinda-Carol Ballou described the complexity
that enterprises face and highlighted that "there is little leeway
for poor software quality as companies deal with a volatile
economic, business, and political climate that remains erratic,
along with increasingly complex sourcing and deployments (from
legacy to mobile to Internet of Things [IoT] platforms)."
The IDC MarketScape underscored the following key strengths
across Micro Focus's Application Delivery Management portfolio in
the report:
- Formidable technical breadth and depth of its quality and
application life-cycle management portfolio, complementary products
with PPM, network virtualization and security, evolving
requirements, and agile capabilities.
- A user base, which Micro Focus can target with its modernizing
product portfolio for ASQ, ALM, and agile with ALM Octane. A
percentage of the established base of this broadly adopted platform
remains well engaged and is looking to the organization's new and
evolving product sets to be able to move forward into agile DevOps
and modern development.
- Opportunities for the newly combined, software-focused company
as heritage Micro Focus has synergistic (as well as some
overlapping) automated tools for ALM and ASQ, such as the Silk
products.
"Organizations continue to struggle with the shift towards
Agile and DevOps process frameworks, the integration of numerous
lifecycle products and open source tools, and the complexity of
managing a broad range of applications," said Raffi Margaliot,
senior vice president and general manager, Application Delivery
Management, Micro Focus. "Our leadership position underscores our
commitment to deliver an end-to-end set of solutions that
facilitate better integration across tools and teams, and deliver
the necessary insights to make smarter, faster decisions that
ultimately accelerate quality application delivery."
