ROCKVILLE, Md.--()--Micro Focus (LSE: MCRO.L), the leading provider of enterprise application modernization, testing, and management solutions, today announced that it has received Department of Defense (DoD) Information Assurance Accreditation for several of its change management and testing tools available to the U.S. Air Force, enabling the Air Force to accelerate application delivery and enhance IT modernization efforts.
