Example Scenario – 1
Scenario
• Dev team works on TFS for automated software delivery
• QA team is migrating from HP ALM to TFS and MTM.
• In larger enterprises, migration is not done overnight
• Both the tools need to run in parallel for some transition time.
Omnibus Solution
• Initial migration of data from HP ALM to TFS
• Bidirectional synchronization of artifacts like Defects, Requirements and Test Cases
between the two systems.
• Provides an interface to configure and start the Migration between the systems.
• Kovair’s ESB based integration bus makes sure that the items remain synchronized
even after the Migration is over.
