HP launches its Application Lifecycle Intelligence (ALI) development tools

Hewlett Packard announced earlier this morning a whole slew of new development tools, software suites and services aimed at accelerating application development lifecycles, with an emphasis on mobile apps and cloud solutions used in IT, mobile apps as well as tele-medicine applications.

HP is looking to make better use of the tools already provided by some social sites to allow better collaboration within work groups, and has added features designed to help mobile app developers and to reduce the development lifecycle to just days instead of months.

"Today, modern enterprise applications require a much different approach to original design and testing phases than traditional software applications," said Jonathan Rende, vice president and GM of application transformation solutions at HP.

"Overall, HP ensures that enterprise applications provide the highest level of quality, security, availability and scalability while elevating the user experience to an entirely new level."

On the social side, HP Application Lifecycle Intelligence (ALI) now uses social-media methods to track who is working on each stage of a software development project, and what input they have had so far, and at every phase of the development cycle.

HP's new Enterprise Collaboration suite allows real-time conversations on source code and links them to action items so that everyone in the team can benefit.

For enterprise mobility applications, HP has teamed up with Perfecto Mobile to speed up smartphone and tablet application development by allowing automated testing for multiple mobile handset types. There's also a new module for taking on-the-fly information on SAP Netweaver and Sybase Unwired platforms in the enterprise segment.

Then, HP Anywhere has also been updated to allow mobile phone users access to defect tracking, troubleshooting and service health monitoring, ensuring that as long as you've got your mobile app you can still get some work done and then post on an executive scorecard.

In the next few weeks, HP will also announce some new development tools that will enable app developers to collaborate on M2M (machine-to-machine) projects that can be used in the IT industry as well as in mobile medicine apps.
