HP Application Lifecycle Management (HP ALM) is a set of software tools developed and marketed by the HP Software Division of Hewlett Packard Enterprise for application development and testing. It includes tools for requirements management, test planning and functional testing, performance testing (when used with HP Performance Center), developer management (through integration with the most widely used developer environments such as Collabnet, TeamForge and Microsoft Visual Studio), and defect management.
HP ALM is designed to support key stakeholders responsible for delivering applications as they progress through their lifecycle. It is a combination of a common platform, several key applications and a dashboard targeted at managing the core lifecycle of applications, from design through readiness for delivery to operations. All of these core lifecycle activities are connected together from a workflow perspective with a common management console, layer of project tracking and planning and built on a common software foundation containing a consistent repository and open integration architecture with a supported SDK.
HP ALM is intended to provide Information Technology departments with a centralized application management platform for managing and automating within and across application teams and throughout the complete process of developing an application, within a single workflow. HP offers a number of consulting services to support HP ALM.
HP ALM provides project planning and tracking so application development solutions teams can define, track, measure, and report on project milestones and key performance indicators.
HP ALM delivers real-time traceability of requirements and defects. QA department can significantly benefit from this traceability to get on-time reports and have visibility into the system under development
HP lab management capability allows testing teams to provision and deploy a test lab themselves in a hybrid delivery environment (bare-metal or virtual, in-house or in the cloud) through integration of HP ALM with HP Continuous Delivery Automation (CDA).
