ALM Overview
HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) empowers IT to
manage the core application lifecycle, from requirements through deployment, granting
application teams the crucial visibility and collaboration needed for
predictable, repeatable, and adaptable delivery of modern applications.
Application lifecycle management is a complex process.
Whether your organization is predominantly Agile or you are using both
iterative and sequential methods, the aim of effective lifecycle management is
greater predictability, heightened repeatability, improved quality, and a ready
accommodation of change. Understanding project milestones, deliverables,
resource and budget requirements and keeping track of project health, standards
and quality indicators, allow delivery managers to achieve these objectives.
ALM helps you define and maintain a repository of
requirements and tests. Requirements
help ensure that business and testing needs are covered. Tests can then be
automatically generated from these requirements to ensure the correct aspects
of the application are being tested. To meet the various goals of a project,
you can organize the tests in your project into unique groups. ALM provides a
method for scheduling and executing tests, collecting test results, and
analyzing the data.
