Description

Software applications are everywhere in today's organizations. They now run the business, and the business requires agility. But everything in this area is changing. Application teams that were once co-located are now virtual, global, offshore and outsourced. Development processes are evolving from sequential methods like waterfall, to flexible ones like Agile. And the technologies have changed from thin-client, self-contained applications to complex composite applications that leverage cloud services and RIA.

As a result, building and managing applications today is more complicated than ever. In order to manage this complexity, IT organizations must optimize the entire application lifecycle, from inception to retirement. And managing it allows IT organizations to deliver applications quickly, securely and reliably.

With HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solutions, you can improve the quality, predictability and agility of your application lifecycle. The result is lower costs, higher-quality, more agile business applications.

The event will start with a presentation on HP's approach for Application Lifecycle Management and continue with an End-to-End real life scenario demonstration using the different HP solutions:

  • Requirements Management
  • Development Management
  • Quality Management
  • Performance / Load and Functional (Gui & non Gui) tests automation
  • Security Management

To conclude, a business case based on a Swiss company facing problems with test management will be presented describing:

  • how an audit was conducted for quality assurance
  • test organization changes resulting from audit
  • implementation of Quality and Testing competency center
  • selection of software for test management (Quality Center was selected)
  • implementation and rollout of Quality Center
  • performance testing objectives
  • implementation of a Master Test Plan as standard for projects
