“We are very excited about winning the prestigious Testers Choice Award, says Steve Miller, President/CEO of Pragmatic Software.  "In the past year, we have invested heavily in Software Planner, redesigning the user interface with a fresh new look and concentrating on maximizing the usability of the software.  We also worked with our automation partner (Star-QA http://www.Star-QA.com) to build integrators with HP Quick Test Pro, Automated QA's Test Complete, Rational Robot and Functional test.  Integrating automated testing with manual testing provides a real rounded testing solution for any software team.  Being recognized by a superlative group of test engineers is especially great, and confirms that our product roadmap is right on target.", adds Miller.
