This
section provides an overview of the features that were introduced or enhanced
in ALM 15.0.
SSO Authentication
|
SSO access to ALM can be authorized in a
federated environment. Users can use single sign-on for logging into ALM as
they do with other SSO applications at the site. For details on how to
facilitate single sign-on, see Setting up SSO Authentication.
If you use Siteminder for user
authentication, we recommend you switch to use the SSO authentication
solution.

Web Runner

Web Runner is a web-based manual test
execution tool. It enables you to run your test instances and submit defects
while running your tests. After completing your test runs, the test results
along with any submitted defects are automatically synchronized to ALM. For
details, see Web Runner help.
