HP ALM/HP QC Integration Tasktop
Synchronizer
Use Tasktop Sync
to connect development, QA, and project management, with the Tasktop Sync
server solution. Tasktop Sync is the only ALM synchronization solution built on
the industry-standard Eclipse Mylyn ALM integration framework. Tasktop Sync
provides real-time synchronization, automated conflict resolution, and support
for over two dozen ALM tools.
Tasktop provides industry-leading support for HP Quality
Center (QC) and HP ALM with both Tasktop Dev and Tasktop Sync products. Tasktop
has a very strong relationship with HP, as Tasktop Dev and Tasktop Sync
integrate with HP ALM and HP Quality Center. This integration enables HP users
to be integrated into development, project management and requirements
management, allowing requirements, work items, test artifacts and defects to be
managed within HP ALM while be worked on in other tools used by other groups.
Through Tasktop Sync, Tasktop's server-based integration hub, data is
synchronized between HP QC / ALM and third party tools without the users of
either tool knowing that the record they are working on is also being worked on
in other tools. This ‘invisible’ integration allows for a truly integrated
lifecycle that increases transparency, governance and collaboration. Tasktop
Dev, which forms a major part of HP Application Lifecycle Intelligence,
provides developers with access to HP QC and HP ALM artifacts from the comfort
of their Eclipse or Visual Studio IDE.
List of
Supporting Tools : Jira
Atlassian JIRA provides bug, issue and project tracking and
reporting and analysis with an artifact-based workflow engine aimed at helping
development teams deliver software faster. When combined with Tasktop Sync, a
server-based integration platform, not only can organizations manage all their
issues within JIRA, but they can also extend the reach of JIRA into artifacts
that within other tools. This allows for a JIRA-led managed development
approach across your heterogeneous tool stack. Tasktop Sync provides
capabilities that allow users to define how JIRA issues map to third party
artifacts by describing workflow transitions and attribute transformations.
This allows JIRA to work in perfect harmony with third party tools, such as
HP QC, IBM RTC or MS TFS.
StarTeam->
Change and Configuration Management Tool – Manage, Track, Deliver
The Borland Connector provides Eclipse, Visual Studio and
external ALM system integration for StarTeam, a robust and scalable platform
for coordinating and managing the entire software delivery process across
diverse methodologies and distributed teams. With the connector, StarTeam
development teams gain advanced traceability, visibility and reporting across
development activity in the IDE via Tasktop Dev and across dozens of ALM
systems via Tasktop Sync.
The Borland
Connector for Eclipse provides integrated access to StarTeam project and change
management artifacts and fully supports Mylyn’s task-focused interface
developer productivity technology, which automatically focuses developers on
the code that is relevant for a given task. The connector also seamlessly
extends Borland’s StarTeam Eclipse Client (STEC) to provide task-focused SCM
operations and automate traceability between source code changes and the
corresponding task.
The
connector is also available for Tasktop Sync, which connects project management,
development, and QA in heterogeneous IT environments by providing instant data
synchronization between StarTeam and dozens of ALM systems. With Sync,
organizations can ensure each stakeholder has access to the data that they need
within their primary tool while providing visibility and comprehensive
reporting across systems from within StarTeam

Load Testing
with NeoLoad and 3rd Party Integrations:-
Application Lifecycle Management Tools
NeoLoad
integrates with your application lifecycle management chain to empower and
accelerate the delivery of secure and reliable applications. The majority of
ALM tools and Quality management platforms such as HP Quality Center can
leverage load & performance testing functionality through automated tests
executed by NeoLoad. Key features such as “start” or “schedule a test” can be
setup in minutes. Comprehensive reporting results can be integrated in your
test management dashboard via XML
Additionally, Neotys delivers a
plugin to be deployed on Quality Center that helps team members plan
NeoLoad tests and track test status
Integrate
IBM Rational Requirements Composer and HP ALM with Rational Lifecycle Adapters
If you use
HP Application Lifecycle Management software (HP ALM) for quality management,
you can use the IBM Rational Adapter for HP ALM to integrate data with Rational
Requirements Composer, Rational DOORS Next Generation, Rational Team Concert,
or Rational ClearQuest. Developers, testers, and analysts can then work in
their own tools and collaborate with each other by using linked resources. This
demonstration shows how the Rational Adapter for HP ALM integrates data across
HP ALM and Rational requirements management tools. The demo shows Rational Requirements
Composer, but DOORS Next Generation works the same way
CA Clarity Agile:
Tasktop Sync
for CA Clarity Agile and CA Clarity Requirements automatically synchronizes
tasks, requirements, stories and issues with third party systems such as
Microsoft TFS, HP Quality Center, IBM RTC and JIRA.
This allows
CA Clarity Agile users to view, update, and centrally report over information
from these external systems without disrupting existing technologies and
processes. For example, a defect created in an external system can be
automatically created as an Issue in CA Clarity Agile and then all changes are
kept in sync bi-directionally
Serena HP
Quality Center Integration
Serena and
HP provide an integrated solution that enables business analysts, development teams,
and quality assurance professionals to quickly address their most critical
requests and issues. By orchestrating and streamlining traditionally manual
processes between issue and defect management, requirements management,
software change management, and quality assurance, Serena and HP give IT
executives real time visibility and comprehensive traceability throughout the
entire application
Development
lifecycle
Serena ALM and HP Quality Center
Serena
provides a comprehensive Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) software suite, with products that can seamlessly work
with HP Quality Center, including:
Serena
Business Manager: this solution orchestrates, integrates, and automates
development processes between Serena products and third-party products, including
HP Quality Center
Serena Issue
and Defect Management: Provides an automated process for developers to view
issues in their queue, share commit information directly from within their IDE
tools, and track code changes
Serena
Dimensions RM: Offers distributed teams a collaborative way to capture detailed
requirements, manage changes, and perform traceability analysis
Serena
Dimensions CM: provides a single global repository for distributed development
teams to manage complex configurations, view full histories of change records,
and manage baselines
Key
Capabilities:
Integration
between Serena and HP provides IT organizations the following capabilities to
more efficiently manage their issues, requirements, software configurations,
and tests:
• Automatically
create items – such as defects, work requests, requirements, and test cases – based on specific actions in HP
Quality Center or Serena products
•
Synchronize items, statuses, and fields between Serena products and HP Quality
Center as items progress through the development lifecycle
• Track
history of changes across HP and Serena products
For software
defects, Serena and HP provide a closed-loop process for development and
quality teams. When a defect is created in HP Quality Center, Serena Business
Manager (SBM) automatically opens an issue in Serena Issue and Defect
Management.
SBM can also
assign the issue to a developer as a work request in Dimensions CM, so the
developer can immediately start working on the issue. As the developer updates
the work request, information in HP Quality Center is automatically updated via
the process
Orchestration
capabilities of SBM. Once the QA team verifies the fix, they can close out the
defect in HP Quality Center, which automatically closes the issue and updates
the information in all Serena products.
