Borland Software has launched a new Lifecycle Quality
Management (LQM) suite.
The new software is designed to offer integrated asset and
liability management, linking business requirements to code and how
it is tested.
The aim is to help IT departments produce software that meets
business requirements as well as eliminating defects from the
code.
The suite includes a new developer test and defect prevention
system, Gauntlet, which builds quality checks into existing
development tasks.
Gauntlet works with existing software configuration management
systems to analyse code and isolate problem coding before it
affects other areas.
The package also includes Borland’s SilkCentral Test Manager, a
web-based test management system that supports all stages of the
software quality lifecycle from planning, test management,
execution and reporting of automated and manual testing
activities.
The new product launch follows Borland’s $100m (£52m)
acquisition of Segue Software in April. The acquisition of Segue, a
specialist in software quality and testing, formed part of
Borland’s plan to refocus on its application lifecycle management
business.
