New features of Micro Focus ALM 15.0

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.
Site Administration REST API Reference	This new guide provides a complete online reference for the newly added Site Administration REST-based API. Use the REST API to access and work with ALM data in Site Administration. For details, see Site Administration REST API Reference.
ALM AutoPass License Server (technical preview)	The AutoPass License Server (APLS) helps you organize and manage ALM licenses, by providing better visibility and control over license consumption. For details on how to configure APLS during the ALM installation, see the Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management Installation and Upgrade Guide. For details on how to install and manage licenses in APLS, see Managing AutoPass License Server (technical preview).
Dashboard module	•         Health reports. The ALM health report provides an out of the box set of key metrics that will help you to gain visibility and control of your project’s progress and health. For details, see Health Reports. •         Email graphs from the Analysis View. Enables you to email a selected graph from the Analysis View. For details, see Analysis View Menus and Buttons. This option can also be triggered by OTA API. For details, see How to email analysis graphs using OTA API.
API Keys	API Key expiration time. By default, API Keys do not expire unless revoked. To set an expiration time, you can define the APIKEY_EXPIRE_DAYS site parameter. For details, see How to Manage API Keys.
BPT	Transpose button. This option enables you to switch the data table to have parameter rows and iteration columns. Available from Test Plan module > Test Configurations tab > Data tab for static configurations. For more details on the static view, see Data Tab: Static View.
ALM Help Center Enhancements	•         User Help menu. In addition to ALM help, now includes BPT and Web Runner. •         Integrations menu (new). Includes online help for Excel, Word, BV Excel, and MSI Generator. Also includes catalogs of add-ins and integrations. •         Admin Help menu.

What is jira tool? Where it can be used?

Jira is Atlassian's product it is used for project management tool for Agile. To describe: JIRA allows teams to track any kind of  project work (be it an issue, epic, bug, story, project task, etc.) through a system/user-defined workflow.
Jira is a user-friendly issue tracking tool that helps teams plan, manage, and report on their work. There are different versions of Jira depending on project usage.

HPE ALM 12.5 New feature

HPE ALM 12.5 Updates

Integrating External Tests

ALM enhances your testing capabilities by enabling you to synch externally executed test results with

ALM. Automation tests executed by Jenkins or other testing frameworks will be integrated into ALM

along with the latest test runs, giving quality teams comprehensive quality coverage. When working

with Jenkins, this integration enhances the Continuous Testing process.

ALM provides two methods for synchronizing your results with ALM:

Synchronizing results from

Jenkins

After configuring Jenkins to synch results with ALM, each time you run a job from Jenkins,

the external results are synchronized automatically with ALM.

Synchronizing results by

external testing tools

When working with an external testing tool, you synchronize an external result file to ALM

by manually importing the file to ALM.

Client-Side Deployment

The ALM Client is deployed once for each ALM version. When client download begins, the

ALM Platform loader compares the ALM version on the server with the ALM version on the client

machine, and only deploys the client if the versions are not the same. As a result, you can now install

ALM in advance. For example, you can:

1. Install the new version of ALM or the new patch on your staging server.

2. From your client machine, link to the staging server. The new ALM Client is now deployed on your

client machine.

You can then continue to access the production server, working with the old ALM Client. When the

production server is upgraded to the new version of ALM, each client machine automatically works with

the new ALM Client.

Also, you no longer need to specify additional servers in the MSI Generator to have a single MSI

available for multiple ALM servers.

Data Hiding

Certain critical fields in ALM cannot be hidden. These fields are marked with a plus sign in Project

Customization.

Add Images to Memo Fields

You can add images to ALM records. You can attach an image, a snapshot of your application, or items

from the Clipboard. You can add images to any memo field of an entity that support attachments, such

 

as the Description and Comments sections of a defect.

Locking Out Users

The ALM site administrator can lock out a user who invalidly attempts to log in. When a user is locked

out, the user's status is set to Inactive. You can then activate the user, or set a time period to

automatically activate the user and end the lockout.

Global Search

A powerful global search is a engine enabling you to search across all or a specific ALM module. It includes

the following modules: Defects, Requirements, Tests, Test Sets, and Analysis. For more details on

how to install and enable Global Search.

System Requirements Updates

Hardware requirements

Operating System Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2/Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2

CPU Windows: Quad Core AMD64 processor or equivalent x86-compatible processor

Memory (RAM) Recommended: 32 GB / Supported: 16 GB

Free disk space Ratio of 1:5 between the size of the ALM database and Global

Search. For example, if your ALM database is 20 GB, then you need

at least 100 GB of free disk space for Global Search.

There is an option to change the location where Global Search data is                                                                                   

stored, such as to a shared location. In this case, the above

requirements would apply for the specified location where the data is

saved.

Software requirements

Software Java 8

Permissions

Permissions Administrator

ALM Web Client Updates

Changes in Feature Availability

Web Client, as it is not available for version 12.50.

Business Process Testing Updates

Extended View for Test Script Tab

l You can view information in the Test Script tab's grid view using the new extended view. This

enables you to see a more comprehensive view of test components without clicking additional links.

The additional information you can see include:

l Snapshot thumbnails, instead of an icon.

l Separate columns for input and output parameters, which include parameter names and if only

one iteration, the value for the parameter.

l Links between input and output parameters, without having to open the I/O Parameters dialog

box.

Additionally, when working in extended view, you can adjust row heights for your convenience.
