ALM Users Diverse in Development: Borland
In a new survey by Borland Software, it found that most application developments were diverse in use.
For this survey, Borland surveyed almost 300 of its own customers in May and June and found that most customers upport two or more development platforms, and 42 per cent deploy to both Java and .Net. Half are using four or more ALM tools, and 33 per cent have tools from more than three different vendors.
It also said 66 per cent respondents use both open-source and commercial ALM tools.
"One of the reasons we're seeing folks actively move to the agile space is so they can be more responsive," said Marc Brown, Borland vice president of product marketing. But some user sites may not use agile processes if they have so many people trained on a particular process and gauge that change presents more risks than benefits, Brown said.
The survey also said that the top priority in delivering software was meeting the needs of the business or customer with 59 per cent saying they support this view. About 25 per cent said delivery of high-quality software was their top goal.
