Sydney, April 19, 2011 — Micro Focus (LSE.MCRO.L), the leading provider of enterprise application modernisation, testing and management solutions, today announced a collaboration agreement with Melbourne-headquartered Enex TestLab, to jointly provide requirement and software quality testing services in Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia and China. The agreement builds on the two companies’ long-standing cooperation in the United Kingdom.

Following its acquisitions of Borland and the Automated Software Quality (ASQ) business of Compuware in 2009, Micro Focus has made a significant investment in its software testing business. Its comprehensive product suite addresses the needs of organisations throughout the development lifecycle, including tools for test management as well as requirement, functional and non-functional, performance, regression and cloud testing.

Bruce Craig, general manager, Australia and New Zealand at Micro Focus, said: “Enex TestLab possess the deep skills in the testing area that allow its consultants to transform the software delivery lifecycle into a managed business process. It is hard to overstate the importance software testing has to the smooth running of a business. With our joint offering, our customers will have the ability to reduce the cost of rework and wasted efforts by up to 40 percent.”

“We welcome the extension of our relationship with Micro Focus to APAC, including Australia, New Zealand and China.
