Cloud computing in some ways eases the strain on organizations to create new applications — why develop when almost everything you need is in the cloud? The thing is not everything is in the cloud, so app development continues — particularly mobile applications but also enabling on-premise apps to connect to cloud services.
So application lifecycle management (ALM) tools are as important as ever. Hewlett-Packard Co. has released updated versions of several of its ALM tools to automate and leverage the cloud for application testing. “With the acceleration of mobility as a key strategic initiative, and more customers moving to Agile methodology to deliver faster, we’ve seen a struggle occur between trying to release (applications) faster and trying to maintaining and improving the overall quality,” explained Kelly Emo, director of product marketing for HP Software’s application development and management group. The enhancements help dev and test teams achieve that balance by automating processes and accessing the power of the cloud for large scale testing.
