What Other Companies Are Sayingā¦Now That They Have Upgraded to
HP ALM
HP ALM
Previous Challenges in Common
Outcome of Implementing ALM
ā¢ Difficulty managing and creating traceability between requirements, tests and defects
ā¢ Lack of collaboration and communication between multiple, distributed teams
ā¢ Problems managing cross-project, cross-initiative enterprise releases
ā¢ Lack of information to make informed go/no go decisions
ā¢ No standardized processes across application lifecycle
ā¢ Inability to ensure project planning and tracking
ā¢ Reduced costs through centralized management and enforcement of consistent workflows and
processes
ā¢ Reduced costs and increased efficiency by reducing duplication of effort and sharing best practices
ā¢ Increased visibility to quality status, requirement coverage and defect trends in aggregate across
projects and initiatives

ALM Upgrade Customer Quotes
āReal-Time Visibility is critical. The metrics we now have derive from a consistent goal source, a central place of truth for
testing requirements and defect data. Itās already becoming an enterprise standard. We use this capability and the reports at
our CEO level. This has high visibility. Every week, our CEO wants to know about our quality score.ā
āDirector of Test Management, Medical Distribution company
āNetApp has 40 QA groups globally. We maximized our uptime and application availability by moving to HP ALM which
already included high-availability support.ā ā Manager of Test Tools, High Tech manufacturer
āHP ALMās integrated platform with Performance Center is important. My Support Structures have become simpler. I used to
have two teams to supports HP QCE, whereas with HP ALM, I have one team. The labor savings is significant.ā ā Nagesh
Prabhu, IT Solutions Leader, Genworth Financial
āDetermining the state of a product release used to be a manual process. We used to request each QA manager to fill out
weekly spreadsheets indicating the percentage of tests completed. HP ALM enables them to view a dashboard at any time. I
now have directors who create their own weekly dashboards to ascertain their teamsā progress. Thereās no longer a need to
ask QA managers to assess status; directors do it themselves.ā ā Manager of Test Tools, High Tech manufacturer
