The ongoing proliferation of platforms and devices – and the demand for greater application functionality – means that it isn‟t going to get easier any time soon. It‟s a problem Borland understands and is always looking to address. By continuing to innovate the Silk Portfolio, Borland‟s comprehensive quality and performance tools for desktop, web, cloud and mobile is keeping its clients ahead of the curve. With the most recent updates addressing intranet load testing through VPN, web page optimisation and cross- browser testing for web and mobile web applications, we‟ve put the means to succeed in the hands of the people who need it. Borland‟s commitment to a continuous stream of innovation in the software quality space aims to deliver on the ever-changing needs of its customers, where quality is about much more than functionality, right across the software supply chain. Its rich feature-set and wide integration capability with third party tools enables Borland‟s customers to validate quality across any application, running on any device. The end result is applications that work, perform and deliver a strong user experience. In awarding Borland this hat-trick of appearances, Gartner noted Borland‟s “ability to execute” and “completeness of vision”. It‟s not been lost on its customers, either.
