Deloitte named a Visionary in Application Testing Services by Gartner

New York, NY, 27 January 2015– Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL) is pleased to announce that Gartner has named Deloitte a Visionary in their report entitled the Magic Quadrant for Application Testing Services, Worldwide.

Gartner’s Magic Quadrant evaluates sixteen of the leading application services providers. The Magic Quadrant is intended by Gartner to help buyers of application testing services identify service providers offering a broad range of application testing services — from advisory and implementation, through to managed services for numerous quality products and tools.

“We are pleased that Gartner recognizes Deloitte as a Visionary in the first ever Magic Quadrant on Application Testing Services, says Al Kagan, Principal and Testing Capability Leader, Deloitte Consulting LLP in the United States. “Our ability to deliver market insight, remain focused on business value, and provide deep technical capabilities and sector expertise gives our clients an unparalleled client experience.”

Gartner defines Application Testing Services as “as a comprehensive term used to capture all types of verification and validation services for the purposes of supporting clients' applications quality control and quality assurance (QA). Verification assesses the technical behavior, and validation assesses the functional behavior of tested elements.”

Visionaries are defined as those who “articulate important market trends and direction. They have a vision for changing market rules, but they are not in a position to fully deliver and consistently execute.”
