“Tomorrow’s ALM is a platform for the coordination and management of development activities, not a collection of life-cycle tools with locked-in and limited ALM features. Borland has worked long and hard to improve the integration among its own tools and with 3rd-party tools. Its ongoing strategy makes it easier for customers to implement, maintain, and employ ALM automation technologies. That’s aligned with the shifts we see as necessary for improving the productivity of software organizations.”
Carey Schwaber, Forrester Research
"Software is at the heart of every competitive business today; however, the failure rate of software projects – due to common issues like poor quality, missed requirements or simply late delivery – remains incredibly high. The ability to automatically test and measure software quality early and often throughout the delivery lifecycle is critical to helping organizations flip the ratio on the success and failure rate of software projects. In this regard technologies like Borland's Gauntlet product are well placed."
Bola Rotibi, Ovum
"Given the growing demand for lifecycle suites and portfolio management applications--with market revenues expected to grow around 15 percent in coming years--Borland's shift in focus makes sense. Now (Borland) has to stitch all these pieces together and do it extremely well in a very competitive space against the biggest vendors. It has business resonance--it's attractive.”
Melinda Ballou, IDC
“Borland has become an excellent advocate for testing, by complementing the existing Silk tools with developer testing software and requirements-driven test creation. Borland is showing the potential... to produce one of the most advanced collections of tools for testing across the whole AD lifecycle, and it appears to be working faster than most other vendors towards achieving that."

“Caliber DefineIT and Caliber RM are strongly integrated and together bridge the gap between business and IT, through improved communication as well as improving the quality of requirements phase through easy to use tools. As part of Borland's holistic approach to software development, placing equal emphasis on people and processes as much as on tools, Butler Group believes Caliber Analyst can help raise the quality of software development."
Butler Group, January 2007
"Butler Group is impressed by the vision of requirements-based testing extolled by Borland which promises benefits that may accrue to be substantial, as they are repeatable over the software ownership lifecycle. Borland now has an impressive capability range... many organisations ... will find Borland LQM well worth consideration. The Borland solution increases quality, efficiency and compliance around software testing activities.”
Butler Group, January 2007
“With its Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) vision, Borland was one of the first of the development providers to articulate a story around the importance of managing the software development lifecycle process. Borland can stake claim to be a leading independent software delivery provider, and a viable alternative to IBM and Microsoft."
