Transcription

1 Application Lifecycle Management 12.x Essentials Duration: 5 Days Course Code: ALM120 Overview: This course provides the tools you need to implement and use Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Students learn how to manage quality information throughout the development cycle, from construction requirements, designing and executing tests, through monitoring defects. The hands-on labs for this course use version 12.5 of the ALM software. Target Audience: This course is intended for:quality assurance engineersquality testersproject managerquality Center/ALM AdministratorsQuality Assurance LeadsOther Quality Center/ALM users responsible for managing projects, users and workflow customizations Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to: Plan for ALM implementation Define Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Create releases and cycles and construct requirements Analyze risks associated with requirements Organize subjects and tests in a test plan tree Design and create test plans Generate test scripts from design steps Create test sets Use Sprinter on manual tests Record and track test execution results Log and manage defects Use version control to keep track of changes Create and manage libraries Create and compare bases Import and export from Microsoft Excel Generate reports and graphs using the dashboard Work with cross-project customization and Business Process Modeling (BPM) Execute manual and automated tests Prerequisites: Testing and Certification To be successful in this course, you should have the following prerequisites or knowledge: Have working knowledge of Windows, websites, and browsers Understand the basic testing concepts Follow-on-Courses: Additional Courses: ALM350 ALM 12.x Site and Project Administration ALM01IT ALM 12.x Interactive Training Created by ART ALMOCT ALM Octane Foundations ALM Octane Digital Learning
