Introducing ALM
OpenTextâ„¢ Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) empowers organizations 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.
Overview
ALM serves as the single pane of glass to govern software quality and implement rigorous, auditable processes. Designed for complex multi-application environments, organizations can achieve high efficiency and measure quality with a requirements-driven and risk-based testing approach.
With the tool, you can:
-
Optimize testing efforts through shared assets and reuse.
-
Standardize testing processes, so your testing efforts are efficient and aligned.
-
Gain real-time visibility into the progress and status of quality, enabling data-based decisions and continuous improvement.
-
Significantly reduce defects before releasing into production.
-
Achieve regulatory compliance with comprehensive traceability and detailed records.
-
Manage quality aspects across methodologies or tools through evolving synchronization capabilities.
