What's new in ALMComplete 2011

Test management

A new test management module in ALMComplete 2011 gives users complete visibility and control over their manual and automated testing assets.

• Use the centralised test library to easily store and reuse assets
• Specify the order test steps are run to align with existing QA processes
• Manage pass/fail at a test step level
• Attach files to test steps
• Specify stop on failure to cease testing at any point
• View both test steps and expected results simultaneously
• Apply cloning to create multiple test sets with different operating systems and browser configurations quickly
• Change test steps during test runs and synchronise changes back to the test library.

Release management

A new release management module in ALMComplete 2011 helps users to define discrete sprints, iterations and builds fast.

• Link requirements, tasks, test sets and defects to specific releases
• Let users drill down into Agile sprints, patches and other artifacts, view test sets, individual tests, and test run histories
• Detailed analytics are automatically included in release reporting so users can make informed release decisions and compare analytics from release to release, sprint to sprint.

Team task boards

The new team task boards provide visibility into personal tasks and let developers see tasks across the entire team.

• Use pull-down menus to select multiple variables and generate views for defects, tasks and requirements by developer or for the entire team
• Simple to use drag-and-drop interface helps teams reprioritise tasks on the fly.

Reporting and dashboards

Improve insight and comprehension using new reporting capabilities and dashboards.

• New dashboards for release reporting, requirements traceability, run analysis, and more
• New advanced reporting capabilities allow users to render critical issues in multiple formats to assess progress, improve comprehension and be more agile.

HP Quality Center Conversion tool

HP Quality Center users can easily migrate their data to ALMComplete 2011.

• Powerful conversion capabilities including the ability to automatically set up user accounts, folder structures, custom fields and choice lists.

Features

Project Management

Project Managers and ScrumMasters can manage changing requirements with agility and predict the “invisible' issues that threaten project success. ALMComplete gives you actionable insight into every aspect of your project:

• Gain the visibility and agility to manage project velocity, burn-downs, tasks, resources, and timelines on-the-fly.
• Decrease development cycles by decomposing requirements into discrete elements for more accurate estimates. By understanding how project estimates impact delivery dates, developers and QA testers can easily assess current deliverable status and apply insight to refine future estimates.
• Assign tasks, estimate effort, set priority and specify predecessors to ensure that the right work gets done by the right person.
• Dashboards and Reports: Understand and report on velocity, progress (estimated and actual), burn downs, timesheets, project and assignee variance reports, resource allocation and tasks, and more in multiple easy-to-read formats.

Release Management

In-depth, complete views help Agile and non-agile teams understand current release status and all underlying dependencies. ALMComplete gives you the visibility and agility to sustain quality in every iteration, release and sprint:

• Define and manage releases and sprints using intuitive, Windows-based views that help team members get up to speed fast.
• Understand the state of your release; track the artifacts linked to each iteration, build and sprint; and course-correct quickly based on changing conditions.
• View test run histories across releases, test sets, and individual tests and assess quality.

Test Management

Comprehensive testing improves software quality. To be more proactive and strategic in your testing coverage, you need complete insight and control to organise, plan, and analyse testing efforts, whether you use manual or automated test cases. ALMComplete helps QA teams approach testing more strategically:

• Assess differences in planned versus actual coverage and eliminate insufficient or redundant testing using at-a-glance views. Drill into detail quickly.
• Visualise test coverage at an aggregate level and centrally manage manual and automated testing assets.
• Store tests in the centralised test library for quick reuse. Reduce human error when applying saved tests across multiple test sets and configurations and achieve more accurate results faster.
• Get more control at the test-step level with dynamic test step management.

Requirements Management

Define, manage, and link requirements to specific releases, sprints, and source code and make sure they are met. ALMComplete delivers the insight and detail that helps teams quickly course-correct based on changing requirements and timelines:

• Link requirements to specific releases and source code including defects and artifacts. Absolute traceability lets you track these links easily.
• Attach documents to any requirement (such as detail designs, specifications, and prototypes), and track versions of those documents. Drill into them quickly from the Release view.
• Apply workflow configurations to verify that requirements are met and track them through user-definable statuses.
• View audit histories of all requirement touches including changes, people, date and time, and before/after values.

Defect Management and Issue Tracking

Track status and resolution progress of defects and issues across all your releases. Coordinate development and remediation activities as bugs are found. ALMComplete gives you holistic visibility into all your projects and the flexibility to work the way you want - waterfall or agile - with the tools you already have.

• View all relevant information in one place including audit histories of all changes to defects, artifacts, threaded-team discussions, and notes.
• Estimate more accurately your time, money, and resource needs by decomposing requirements into discrete deliverables using project plan wizards.
• Understand the status of requirements with absolute traceability between requirements, defects, tasks, and tests.

ALM, Source Control, and Defect Tracking Integrations

If you use other ALM, SCM or bug tracking tools, why switch? ALMComplete integrates with most popular tools so you can work the way you want and get the insight that only ALMComplete can provide.

• Keep the tools you already use. ALMComplete seamlessly integrates with many defect, ALM, and source control applications.
• Defect Tracking and ALM tools: HP Quality Center, Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS), Atlassian JIRA, and Bugzilla.
• SCM tools: Subversion, Perforce, CVS.

Collaboration

Interaction and collaboration promote productivity. Get more done and create high quality software faster. ALMComplete takes the hassle out of collaboration by letting teams post and share documents.

• Team Task Boards promote Agile StandUps. Everyone can see what everyone else is doing.
• Engage with your team to ask questions. Be more agile with more frequent collaboration and interaction.
• Hold threaded discussions to clarify requirements, project status, and any other topics that come up. All team members are notified of posts via email, so nothing drops through the cracks.

Support Ticket Management

Improved self-service management and customisation of Support Ticket Websites allow clients to create, manage and customise the branding and layout of the Websites they use to track customer service issues/defects.

Reporting

Stay on top of every aspect of every project with a depth of analysis and reporting not found in competitive products. ALMComplete helps you stay on track using status screens, dashboards, task boards, burn-down and velocity charts, and drillable reports:

• Track progress, velocity, variances, and slipping tasks across projects and teams.
• Understand what requirements are delivered and which defects are repaired within and across releases using at-a-glance views. See further details in clickable graphs that you can print; export to Word, Excel or PDF; or email.
• Mentor your staff before they complain! See who is under- or over-allocated with work. Review team and project variances across and within projects to improve future estimates.
• View daily trends of estimated work, actual hours logged, and estimated time remaining.
• Determine whether your team will complete the project by the projected completion date.
