In today’s defense landscape, the effectiveness of the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) missions hinge on our ability to deliver software with both speed and security, treating them as inseparable priorities rather than trade-offs. The DoD and IC are under constant pressure to accelerate secure software delivery while meeting stringent compliance, security, and mission-readiness demands.
That’s why MFGS, Inc. and Merito are hosting an exclusive four-part webinar series designed to help U.S. Government technology leaders understand how to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to accelerate software testing, enhance security and deliver performance at scale—without sacrificing compliance.
In this webinar series, we will explore how the OpenText integrated suite of testing and application security products with AI and ML advancements help teams deliver secure, high-quality software faster. This is your opportunity to understand how to proactively identify and address potential vulnerabilities, accelerate software delivery and confidently meet demands of high-compliance environments.

Webinar Schedule and Topics
SECURITY | Embedding AI in Application Security
📅 Wednesday, September 10 – 10:00 AM PT
Discover how OpenText Application Security Testing (formally Fortify) brings AI-powered SAST and DAST into mission-ready pipelines to catch vulnerabilities earlier, recommend developer-ready fixes, and continuously prove compliance. Tailored for U.S. Department of Defense and Intelligence Community software teams, see how Fortify maps findings to NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 controls and DISA STIG/SRG requirements, generates audit-ready artifacts for RMF/ATO and continuous ATO packages. Ideal for mission application owners, cybersecurity engineers, and AOs looking to reduce time-to-ATO while strengthening software supply-chain assurance.
USER EXPERIENCE | Accelerating Test Automation with AI-Driven Functional Testing
📅 Wednesday, October 8 – 10:00 AM PT
Explore how OpenText Functional Testing (formally UFT One) applies AI to test creation and execution enabling rapid regression and functional testing across complex applications to shorten delivery cycles. See how OpenText Functional Testing can automate end-to-end business process tests across U.S. DoD ERPs such as SAP ECC/S/4HANA, Oracle E-Business, and PeopleSoft.
PERFORMANCE ASSURANCE | Ensuring Performance Readiness at Scale
📅 Wednesday, November 12 – 10:00 AM PT
Learn how OpenText Performance Engineering (formally LoadRunner) validates application performance under real-world, high-demand scenarios ensuring systems are mission-ready at scale. OpenText Performance Engineering has been used by the U.S. DoD to script key SAP, Oracle and Peoplesoft ERP transactions and interfaces, simulate peak/mission loads, and measure end-to-end response times across web/app/DB tiers to find bottlenecks, size capacity, and de-risk upgrades (e.g., ECC→S/4HANA) before go-live.
FACTORY OPTIMIZATION | Continuously Improve Secure Software Delivery
📅 Wednesday, November 19 – 10:00 AM PT
Bring it all together and see how OpenText Software Delivery Manager (SDM, formally ALM Octane) streamlines secure software delivery. Learn how SDM provides end-to-end visibility, governance, and compliance across Agile Release Trains (ARTs) in high-compliance environments, such as IL4/IL5 for the U.S. Department of Defense and Intelligence Community. Explore how SDM serves as an Agile/SAFe hub, enabling efficient management of backlogs, Program Increment (PI) planning, requirements, and test/defect lifecycles with complete traceability.
