PTC Integrity (formerly MKS Integrity) is a software system lifecycle management (SSLM) and application lifecycle management (ALM) platform developed by MKS Inc. and was first released in 2001. The software is client/server, with both desktop (java/swing) and web client interfaces. It provides software development organizations with a collaborative environment in which they can manage the end-to-end processes of development, from requirements management, engineering change management, revision control, and build management to test management and software deployment as well as associated reports & metrics.
MKS Integrity is now a PTC product since the acquisition of MKS Inc. which was completed on May 31, 2011 by PTC.
PTC Integrity allows software development teams to track all aspects of their work, including work items, source control, reporting, and build management, in a single product. The product consists of two components - PTC Source and PTC Integrity. The source control part of MKS is based on client-server architecture. Thick Java client doesn't store any versioning data on local system and any task performed on source files requires network connection. This means that, unlike distributed systems, this system requires reliable network connection, enough network bandwidth and enough processing power on server side. The other component (PTC Integrity) consists of an Issue tracking system, as well as a Requirement- and Test Management solution.
One of the strengths compared to other similar solutions is PTC Integrity's flexibility in terms of workflows, fields, presentation layout, validation and automation capabilities. PTC Integrity is based on Java, and uses a JavaScript extension for the reporting. Any interaction can be performed online, in the CLI (Command line Interface) or utilizing the server or client Java API.
