HP Helps Enterprises Advance Development

HP today announced new software solutions that improve collaboration among application delivery teams, enabling organizations to accelerate business research and lower operational costs.

The HP solutions provide business analysts, developers and testers with visibility across the life cycle and new levels of automation to streamline the delivery process.
