Executive Summary
Companies are prioritizing digital transformation
goals in response to competitive pressures and
shifting customer demands that require teams to
deliver new and innovative features faster.
In order to meet those demands, organizations
need to have the right tools and processes in place
to deliver high quality software and applications
quickly, breaking down silos, standardizing, and
increasing automation.
Agile and DevOps practices can help organizations
achieve the goal of faster delivery with higher quality
and lower risk.

1. Application testing is a key piece of this digital
transformation, and moving toward Agile and
DevOps delivery requires organizations to shift
left, moving testing closer to development so
that development teams and testers can work
together to design, build, and test quickly and
iteratively. This cannot be done manually.
2. Manual activities are slow and prone to errors. In
the past, testers would manually run through test

scripts to ensure software quality, but this only
works when releases take place a couple of times
a year. Automated tools can automate significant
portions of these testing processes, creating
efficiency for teams adopting Agile processes.
Automation enables continuous testing where
the business, testers, and developers collaborate
to increase quality. Ultimately, test automation
tools minimize the time spent on validating
software, allowing teams to focus on innovation
and faster time-to-market.
3. Micro Focus commissioned Forrester Consulting
to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI)
study and examine the potential return on
investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by
deploying Application Delivery Management.
The purpose of this study is to provide readers
with a framework to evaluate the potential
financial impact of the Application Delivery
Management investment on their organizations.
To better understand the benefits, costs,
and risks associated with this investment,
Forrester interviewed several customers with
years of experience using Application Delivery
Management tools. These include Application
