Hewlett Packard Enterprise has unveiled HPE ALM Octane, an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) software offering, designed to help customers accelerate their DevOps processes.
This streamlined ALM solution leverages widely-used developer toolsets like Jenkins and GIT to bring continuous quality to lean, Agile, and DevOps-focused teams. HPE ALM Octane provides insights to developers and testers, helping them deliver applications quickly, without sacrificing quality or end-user experience.
To keep pace with a rapidly changing market landscape and deliver compelling customer experiences, organizations are building and enhancing software and mobile applications at lightning speed.
This accelerating rate of change drives businesses to rethink how they optimize their internal software development processes. Application delivery management solutions that ensure on-going quality and scale at increased speed have not yet evolved fast enough to support development methodologies like Agile, Lean, and DevOps.
“At the core of successful business today, you will find agile, high-quality, high-performing applications that continuously provide engaging and intuitive user experiences,” said Saurabh Saxena, Country Director, Software, Hewlett Packard Enterprise India. “However, to rapidly deliver these remarkable applications, IT teams need to be equally agile and continuously deliver high-quality products. HPE ALM Octane is specifically designed for Agile and DevOps-ready teams, bringing a cloud-first approach that’s accessible anytime and anywhere, bolstered by big data-style analytics to help deliver speed, quality, and scale across all modes of IT.”
HPE ALM Octane is optimized for integration with widely adopted developer testing tools –leveraging Swagger-documented REST APIs – and an open platform architecture built on a layer of open source. While inherently open, HPE ALM Octane is designed to address the challenges associated with the scale required by enterprise software delivery. To accelerate application delivery across multiple teams, the solution provides visually guided and easily configured business rules and workflow.
HPE ALM Octane configures and manages automated testing within the context of a continuous integration pipeline, making it simple for developers to automatically view results and defects in context. In addition, through HPE ALM Octane’s open architecture, organizations can leverage a wide array of test frameworks from both HPE and third party due to the incorporation of continuous integration tools such as Jenkins and Team City.
“Hitachi Consulting provides leading digital enablement platforms to achieve our customer’s goals by focusing on exceptional operational capabilities and performance,” said Jonathon Wright, Director of Digital Engineering at Hitachi Consulting (@HIT_Consulting). “With Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and especially leveraging HPE ALM Octane, we look forward to bolstering our capacity to deliver digital services in dynamic application delivery development environments for the critical areas they’re looking to address – especially around DevOps processes.”
