Requirements, Tests, Issues, Release, Project

Integration is one of the major hurdles in achieving the benefits of cloud computing for an enterprise. Integrations between cloud applications and enterprise legacy applications as well as between cloud based applications themselves are the critical elements of success of this strategy. Enterprises have carried out point-to-point integrations between enterprise applications with long and expensive deployment cycles. Kovair's ESB, the Omnibus Integration Middleware offers a code-less implementation of integration among multi-vendor multi-platform multi-location applications over the cloud. The following three steps achieve this without the need for additional services using out-of-the box Adapters/Connectors for popular enterprise applications.

Among Development teams, HP Quality Center (QC) is a popular test management tool. With built-in integration with Quick Test Pro (QTP) it can manage and execute both manual and automated testing. QC’s support for Requirements and Defects management provides its users a single point solution for managing Requirements to Test cases and Test cases to Defects Traceability. However, many groups use other development tools for various critical functions like Requisite Pro for requirements management, Jira for defect tracking, Eclipse for coding, ANT for build and Perforce for configuration management.

Development teams using Microsoft Visual Studio and TFS or planning to acquire them often need integrations with other development tools from various vendors like, Requirements Management – Requisite Pro, Test Management - HPQC, Configuration Management - Perforce or Subversion. In this webinar, using Kovair’s Omnibus Integration Middleware Technology an actual demonstration of integrated ALM will be shown. The webinar demonstration will include multi-vendor tools integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio and TFS. In addition, the unprecedented productivity enhancements of such integrations will be discussed.

This webinar will discuss and demonstrate the adoption of Agile methodology for ALM. Many ALM tools are constrained to one or possibly two development methodologies and/or frameworks. In the Agile implementation space, although the key concepts are somewhat consistent, the way they are implemented can vary. What is required is an ALM tool that allows for an Agile Team to manage a project or set of projects that can have:
• Agile Developers around the planet working across multiple projects • Deliveries spread across multiple teams • Agile Developers using various tools for managing, developing, testing and reporting across many projects that need to talk to each other • Backlog shared across multiple projects requiring refactoring.

Experience Integrated Application Lifecycle Management with tools like Requisite Pro, HP Quality Center, Clear Quest, Clearcase, Microsoft TFS, Visual Studio, Eclipse and Clarity that will take you on a fully integrated Software Development Life Cycle – SDLC/ALM - from Requirements to Release and many important steps in between! Only Kovair Omnibus Middleware integrations can deliver on this value proposition today.

The recently introduced Kovair ALM Studio product is a very comprehensive single repository web based product for managing requirements, test, issues, risk and release as well as Project Management. In this webinar, you will learn how to manage these multiple artifacts in a single tool with a desired process workflow implementation and very comprehensive test implementation. Some integrations with tools such as Quick Test Pro for automated testing will also be demonstrated.

This webinar will discuss how the return on your existing ALM/SDLC tools investments such as Requirements Management, Test Management, Configuration and Release Management can be improved considerably with Service Bus Integrations of these and other point tools. Learn the ten benefits of Integrated or End to End ALM/SDLC that are achieved with the Service Bus integrations. The webinar will also cover the three methods for achieving integrations and why a positive case can be made for Service Bus Integrations Middleware! Who should attend? Senior developers and systems architects, People in charge of ALM/SDLC tools selections for their organizations, Development and QA Managers and Directors as well as Project Managers for ALM.

This webinar will present how to implement ALM best practices in Java development using an SOA architecture-based integration Bus and open source tools like the Eclipse IDE, JUNIT for test, ANT for software build and SVN for source code management. The webinar will explain how developers, testers and managers can use their own preferred tools environment to accomplish their primary activities while sharing information and collaborating throughout the software lifecycle phases.

Learn how multi vendor tools can be integrated to create a collaborative development Ecosystem using Kovair's Enterprise Service Bus - "the Omnibus" and built-in "Omniprocess." A live demo of integrations with Requisite Pro, HP Quality Center, Perforce SCM and Microsoft Sharepoint will be shown.

In this one hour Webinar learn four of the core concepts of Requirements Management – Traceability, Versioning, Baselining and Reuse of Requirements. Kovair’s CTO Sky Basu will show how a Requirements Management group can achieve multiple levels of Traceability for Requirements, Test and other artifacts using Kovair’s Requirements Management Tool and how to achieve Reuse of Requirements. He will demonstrate various types of graphical representations of traceability and Baseline version diagrams.

For most companies, there is a wealth of untapped opportunities to cut costs from their development projects which do not get focused on when the times are good! However, when the economic climate turns the way it has recently, all avenues have to be examined to cut costs and improve efficiencies. When development groups are geographically distributed globally and many different tools being used is the order of the day, inefficiencies are rampant! This webinar will show you how integrating existing tools in a single and transparent ecosystem and enabling them with process automation will considerably enhance efficiency, improve productivity and delivery times, cut travel and communications costs, reduce management overhead and bring total visibility for cost reduction!
