“HP Application Lifecycle Management”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

ALM is designed to support key stakeholders responsible for delivering applications as they progress through their lifecycle. It is a combination of a common platform, several key applications and a dashboard targeted at managing the core lifecycle of applications, from design through readiness for delivery to operations.^[3] All of these core lifecycle activities are connected together from a workflow perspective with a common management console, layer of project tracking and planning and built on a common software foundation containing a consistent repository and open integration architecture with a supported SDK.^[2]

ALM is intended to provide Information Technology departments with a centralized application management platform for managing and automating within and across application teams and throughout the complete process of developing an application, within a single workflow.^[3] HP offers a number of consulting services to support ALM.

Components of HP ALM

Project planning and tracking

ALM provides project planning and tracking so application development solutions teams can define, track, measure, and report on project milestones and key performance indicators.^[4]

Application lifecycle intelligence

Lab management automation

HP lab management capability allows testing teams to provision and deploy a test lab themselves in a hybrid delivery environment (bare-metal or virtual, in-house or in the cloud) through integration of HP ALM with HP Continuous Delivery Automation (CDA).^[5]

Asset sharing and re-use

ALM supports sharable asset libraries that can be reused across projects while maintaining traceability. Specific changes can be applied to shared assets for each project while maintaining library integrity, and projects can re-synch with the library as needed. Cross-project defect collaboration is also supported.^[6]

Cross-project reporting

ALM provides cross-project reporting and pre-configured business views for reports such as aggregated project status metrics, application quality metrics, requirements coverage, and defect trends for both an enterprise release and individual projects.^[7]

HP Enterprise Collaboration

HP Enterprise Collaboration uses social media for application development teams to communicate without leaving the HP ALM environment. Users can import relevant objects (defects, incidents, reports) for participants to review and comment on.^[8]

HP Performance Center

Performance Center software is an enterprise-class performance testing platform and framework. The solution is used by IT departments to standardize, centralize and conduct performance testing, as well as reuse^[9] previous test cases. Performance Center finds software code flaws across the lifecycle of applications. Built on HP LoadRunner software, HP Performance Center supports developer testing and integrates with HP ALM.^[10]

Quality assurance

ALM includes quality assurance features for risk-based test planning and management, version control, baselining, quality release and cycle management, test scheduling and execution, integrated manual testing and defect management.^[7]

Requirements definition and management

ALM is used by IT departments to capture, manage and track requirements throughout the application development and testing cycle.^[12]

Fortify security

Fortify security software, from Fortify Software, provides application security software, including both dynamic web application security testing and static code analysis. HP Fortify security software integrates with ALM secure application delivery.^[13]

Multi-environment support
