Application Lifecycle Management Templates

Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) consists of procedures and tools that guide project members through the various aspects of the development lifecycle. ALM Templates allow you to configure project workspaces to support your processes. You can templatize your own process or download one of the customizable templates provided by CollabNet.

Features / Benefits

ALM process templates

• Leverage out-of-the-box templates for different process methodologies (such as RUP or Agile) that jumpstart the creation of a project workspace for an ALM project.
• Use predefined Project Tracker artifact types such as "Requirements" and "Issues."
• Import ALM templates into selected projects and customize them to establish local or global process and workflow standards.

Software Configuration Management (SCM)

• Use the embedded industry-leading Subversion SCM system, which provides enterprise-class scalability, ease of use, and the ability to support distributed teams with minimal administration.
• Centralize the core IP assets of the software organization and establish a source code inventory to support audit and compliance activities.

Build and test management

• Use existing integrations with CruiseControl for continuous integration and test, HP Quality Center for QA testing, and CUBiT for management of virtual development and test infrastructure.

Requirements tracking

• Use Project Tracker, a highly configurable artifact tracking system, for integrated requirements tracking. Process administrators can set the data definitions for requirement artifacts at domain- and project-level.
• Improve visibility and traceability of requirements with sophisticated query utilities and event-based automated notifications.

Project management and reporting

• Gain complete end-to-end visibility over project and repository activity and status with graphical reporting capabilities across multiple tools.
• Use traceability and decision support metrics on project lifecycle activities and artifacts including reporting on Subversion code transactions.

Project Page Editor

• Use the Project Page Editor to customize, improve, and manage ALM project content in collaborative Web pages that can be incorporated into ALM templates.

Collaboration tools

• Enable effective distributed development with fully integrated discussion forums, mailing lists, and document management tools, with unified search across all collaboration and lifecycle tools.

Easy extensibility

• Use Web services APIs to easily integrate external tools and applications while using CEE as the central artifact hub and activity tracking framework to help users manage cross-lifecycle and cross-functional issues through to closure.
• Leverage existing integrations with HP Quality Center, IBM Rational ClearCase, CruiseControl, CUBiT, and Eclipse.
