The Coverity Connector for HP ALM integrates Coverity's development testing suite into
HP ALM workflow. This integration connects Coverity's code quality defects to code changes
and business requirements for enhanced development traceability a crossed the entire life cycle.
Let me show you how this all fits together. So, I'm a developer and I arrive at work in
the morning to find a new defect has been assigned to me. I have at my fingertips all
of the critical information that I need to understand the defect and to act. First I
have the code change that introduced the defect. I can see this defect was introduced by the
commit that I made last night. I also have the business requirement affected by this
defect. I can see here that this linked to the requirement for international address
verifications. And finally, I also have the full inter procedural defect report including
source code and annotations. With this I have everything I need to understand the defect
all from within my current ALM environment. This integration connects development and
QA together through a common workflow and shared visibility into development related
defects and quality issues. Development management can establish TPI's and then only release
to QA for testing when code quality is within acceptable levels. As development manager,
I can see here that I still quite a few memory defects in my booking system. So I can now
focus my team's bug fix efforts to meet the testing schedule. And, on the other side,
QA gains visibility into development related defects and can plan their testing strategy
appropriately. Using the connector for HP ALM, your team
has full access to Coverity's Development Testing Suite from within their existing day
to day environment. Workflow is mapped between Coverity and ALM so developers may work in
either environment. For example, here, I can perform defect triage from within ALM, marking
this defect as a high severity, must fix issue. The defect status is also synchronized between
Coverity and ALM. The connector will automatically mark defects as fixed and verified when they
are removed from your code. This combined solution of ALM and Coverity development testing
provides IT with a new level of visibility into development by incorporating code quality
into the definition of application quality, greatly reducing the risk of quality issues
in production without impacting deliver time, cost or agility.
