In the very generous introduction from Edward J. Correia's writeup: "I mean
like last year; the players were the same, dude, but the awards went to
Hewlett-Packard, which acquired Mercury in November 2006. Bonus! These tools
have received our standing ovations for four years running. They are like truly
amazing and excellent." Muchas gracias to all who voted at STP and to Edward for
the enthusiastic review! I would also like to include very kind recognition to
all the other testing vendors also nominated in these awards – our products
wouldn't be nearly as strong without each other. We might all be lost without
the brilliant persistence of our testing practitioners and performance
engineers.
But truly, this award is to be credited to the HP and Mercury individuals who
didn't take their foot of the accelerator during a potentially disruptive
acquisition last year. My hat is off to them – each one. Nice work!
