Optimize application development processes while connecting teams and projects with a single, unified solution for requirements, coding, testing and release. Establish clear project oversight and deliver high-quality products faster.
Consumers are demanding increasingly complex products that are smarter, connected and delivered faster. These complex products span multiple domains including mechanical, electrical and electronic, and all domains must work together to offer consumers the best experience possible.
As a result, companies are facing growing integration challenges while trying to continuously optimize production costs without compromising on the quality of software and application components. In this current manufacturing environment, an agile approach to software and application development has become a key differentiator.
With application lifecycle management (ALM) software, you can achieve:
Enhance engineering information management efficiency, reducing time spent searching for data by more than 65%. (iThera Medical)
Reduce compliance documentation time by 80%, significantly improving time-to-market. (Sonova)
Reduce time required to create compliance documentation, ultimatley reducing time-to-market by 40%. (iThera Medical)
How do you develop better software applications that help create and deliver increasingly complex products while maintaining full traceability and managing functional, safety and sustainability requirements?
Establish an integrated ALM-PLM (application lifecycle management – product lifecycle management) product definition for all stakeholders to remove barriers between product domains and enable concurrent engineering.
By leveraging an integrated ALM solution in your digitalization journey, you will be able to improve quality, increase productivity and decrease costs through early iterative analysis, planning, change management and feedback.
Effectively gather, author, approve and manage requirements across the entire project lifecycle. Leverage test and workflow automation along with test libraries to reuse test cases.
Tie requirements to test cases for integrated verification and validation and enable continuous product compliance monitoring. Link requirements to various design functions and functional areas to ensure validation.
Leverage an integrated open, interoperable and flexible ALM solution to start and end any application development process with the customers’ needs. Quickly develop increasingly complex products while maintaining full traceability and managing requirements along the production process.
Assign tasks for modeling, coding, test execution and builds across the needed toolsets. Software engineers can check the system-level definitions and constraints at any time and collaborate with system users.
Orchestrate coding changes and test execution with virtual hardware to enable software-in-the-loop testing. Execute modeling-level updates collaboratively with coding and testing to ensure consistency, compatibility and accountability with reports and audit trails.
Deliver an application to the final bill of materials software assembly that has undergone proper code updates. Integrate tools for code performance, code coverage, alignment with methods, coding standards and more.
