9. Micro Focus positioned as Leader in the Gartner Magic
Quadrant for Integrated Software Quality Suites
9
“Testing software can be an expensive
process, but poor software quality leads
to user dissatisfaction, as well as
increased development and maintenance.
Therefore, having a well-defined set of
tools and practices to drive software
quality will positively affect the overall
business bottom line.”
Gartner, Magic Quadrant for Integrated
Quality Suites, January 31, 2011
This Magic Quadrant graphic was published by Gartner, Inc. as part of a larger research note and should be
evaluated in the context of the entire report. The Gartner report is available upon request from Micro Focus.
