For the "Magic Quadrant for Application Testing Services, Worldwide" report, Gartner evaluated 20 application testing service providers on their completeness of vision and ability to execute across a variety of criteria. Leaders are defined by Gartner as "performing well today, gaining traction and mind share in the market; they have a clear vision of market direction and are actively building competencies to sustain their leadership position in the market. Leaders generally have a global client base; a track record of complex, global engagements that support business transformation; and well-balanced business, process and industry consulting, implementation and service management capabilities that are supported by rigorous tools and methodologies."
