administrator passwords
Project
Management
•HP Application Lifecycle
Management provides project
planning and tracking so that
teams can define, track,
measure, and report on project
milestones and key
performance indicators

Requirements Overview
•Requirements module is easy-to-use solution that helps the project
teams to assess the application functionalities meets business needs.
•Easily access requirements data through a centralized, web-based
repository accessible to the entire team
•Review requirements coverage and application quality to make better
application release decisions
•Prioritize requirements and align testing goals with business priorities
to enable compliance and manage change
•Validate application requirements and maintain traceability and an
audit trail among requirements, tests, and defects

Test Plan Overview
In Test Plan we can
Organize subjects and tests in a test plan tree
Create tests that define the steps for testing an application
Use parameters in tests
Generate test scripts from design steps
Define test configurations
Generate a live analysis graph from a test plan tree

Test Lab Overview
Test lab will help us create test sets that contains test cases that we need to
execute in each phase
This is where the tester can execute the tests and record the test results
Executed test results will be then mapped to the release cycle
