Résumé du cours
This course provides the tools you need to implement and use Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) 12.5. 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.
