HP Application Lifecycle Management Introduction


1.Introduction to HP Application Lifecycle Management/Quality Center:
 

HP ALM formerly known as Quality Center is a Test Management tool to manage entire Quality Assurance and testing process for an organization. Before being called HP Quality center it used to be called as Mercury Test Director.
 

In my experience I have come across many projects (Manual , Automation and Performance) that is used for all areas of testing, it is a testing suite and is a very simple tool to use, extremely user friendly. Even if you have never used it before, chances are you will be able to figure out how to in a really short time. However, there is a lot of difference between being able to navigate through the tool and being able to exploit its potential to benefit your project.

If you have a compatible machine and understand the components ALM has.
Briefly, the following are the components:


•    A server
•    A client
•    Database

Each component has a certain version that is compatible with ALM.


Why is ALM/QC used?

ALM helps make project management, from requirements to deployment easier. It increases predictability and creates a framework to manage projects from a central repository.  With ALM you will be able to:


Define and maintain requirements and tests
Create Tests
Organize tests into logical subsets
Schedule tests and execute them
Collect results and analyze the data
Create, monitor and analyze defects
Share defects across projects
Track progress of a project
Collect metrics
Share asset libraries across projects
Integrate ALM with HP testing tools other third party tools for a complete automation experience.
