SOA, governance and application development best practices are the underpinnings of a growing application performance validation market. Improving the quality and on-time delivery of software will always be a high-priority task. Significant revisions in how applications are built and consumed change the risk to the enterprise. Performance is top of mind before an application is even coded rather than engineered during deployment.

The bottom line is that performance validation and software quality are not just an application development responsibility. A performance validation and software quality platform is an asset that is leveraged by both development groups and IT operations. It's the foundation of application lifecycle management. When embraced by developer and operational teams, organizations will deliver more functional, secure applications that will meet the performance requirements of the most demanding Anywhere Enterprises.
