NEW DELHI: Agitar Software, has announced that the company's flagship product, Agitator, was selected as the Software Winner in The Wall Street Journal's second Global Technology Innovation Awards competition. The awards recognize technological breakthroughs by individuals, companies, and organizations from around the world in a wide range of areas including medicine, hardware, the Internet, wireless, and broadcasting.






"Innovation is the key for any company to have continued success, and through these awards The Wall Street Journal recognizes these technological breakthroughs throughout the world," said Karen Elliott House, publisher of The Wall Street Journal, and senior vice president, Dow Jones & Company. "This year's winners showed the creative thinking that has allowed them to


rise to the top of their respective industries."





"It is a great honor to have a publication as influential as the Wall Street Journal recognize Agitar's software test automation technology," said Alberto Savoia, Agitar's co-founder and CTO. "Identifying new ways to improve software quality is important to both executives focused on revenue growth and profitability as well as technical teams. Businesses and government organizations worldwide increasingly realize that software quality impacts financial performance."





Award winners were selected by an independent panel of judges, who considered the following factors, among others, in making their selections:

* The innovation should go well beyond what already exists and cannot



simply represent an incremental improvement;

* The innovation needs to address major challenges for which new


solutions would have a wide-ranging impact in a particular industry;

* The application needs to be supported by rigorous data rather than


unsubstantiated claims of potential.
