Worldwide Automated Software Quality Tools 2005-2009 Forecast

This IDC study provides a top-down sizing of the automated software quality (ASQ) tools market in 2004 and our first 2005–2009 forecast for this market. Revenue data is shown for the total worldwide market by geographic region and operating environment. This study does not contain vendor-specific revenue, market shares, or vendor profiles — all of which will be published in a separate study in 2Q05.

"The automated software quality tools market posted very strong growth in 2004," said Melissa Webster, IDC research director, Application Development and Deployment. "We expect robust growth to continue in 2005 and thereafter, throughout our forecast period, as the need for improved software quality and development productivity drives ongoing demand for automated test tools."
