HP has announced new software solutions that improve collaboration among application delivery teams, enabling organisations to accelerate business innovation and lower operational costs.
Cloud computing, as well as increasingly complex business processes, has redefined the way organisations operate and deliver applications. Applications, once monolithic, are now architected on connected services and developed in rapid cycles. These composite applications can create crippling challenges for organisations as they struggle to quickly deliver applications, while still managing quality, performance and security risks within heterogeneous development environments.
The new HP software solutions are key components to the HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) suite, which accelerates application delivery with a single platform, while enhancing collaboration among application delivery teams. The HP solutions provide business analysts, developers and testers with visibility across the life cycle and new levels of automation to streamline the delivery process.
The new HP ALM software solutions include:
HP Service Virtualization 1.0 integrates with a broad set of application life cycle management solutions to reduce complexity and business risks. By accessing a simulated environment immediately, organisations can enhance performance testing of composite applications. The simulated environment also eliminates the need to build a redundant test environment, access production systems or recreate a proxy to mimic service behaviours.
HP Application Lifecycle Intelligence (ALI) is an enterprise technology agnostic solution that turns disparate data into actionable intelligence. HP ALI, combined with HP ALM 11, provides a real-time view into changes made to source code while allowing developers to work with the tools of their choice. This allows organisations to measure the impact of changes on requirements, tests and defects for a complete analysis of application quality prior to release.
HP Agile Accelerator 5.0 features a new scheduling tool for viewing deliverables in development and provides real-time visibility across the application life cycle for rapid response to changing business requirements.
“With business processes increasing the complexity of applications, enterprises are challenged to be nimble and keep pace with changing business demands that lead to innovation breakthrough,” said Kamal Dutta, Director - Asia Pacific and Japan at HP Software. “The new HP ALM solutions help organisations increase their responsiveness to change and accelerate the time to application value.”
The new HP ALM solutions help businesses and governments in their pursuit of an Instant-On Enterprise. In a world of continuous connectivity, the Instant-On Enterprise embeds technology in everything it does to serve customers, employees, partners, and citizens with whatever they need, instantly.
Clients deploying HP ALM solutions can take advantage of flexible financing options through HP Financial Services, the company’s leasing and life cycle asset management services subsidiary.
