Borland updates ALM plan

Borland Software on Monday will announce its latest application lifecycle management strategy, called Open ALM.

The company also will announce shipment of its Borland Gauntlet software for real-time visibility and software quality metrics in the delivery lifecycle.

The intent with Open ALM is to enable customers to leverage existing investments in tools and practices and have software delivery processes be independent of any specific deployment platform or technologies. Processes such as agile, waterfall and Rational Unified Process are accommodated.

Previously, Borland built its ALM platform on its Software Delivery Optimization (SDO) strategy. "Open ALM is really just a refinement of our original SDO vision," said Mark Brown, vice president of product marketing at Borland.

Interoperability between Borland products and third-party and open source products will be key to Open ALM. The SDO slogan goes away with Open ALM.

Gauntlet, meanwhile, provides build and test automation. Pricing starts at $2,000 per seat.
