The time for ALM is now...
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) describes the discipline of delivering software as a repeating set of related activities. These activities, often occurring in parallel, span across business units and roles. These related processes intersect and overlap at critical points, requiring new tools that unite disparate silos and focus the energy and effort of the entire organization towards a release. TechExcel DevSuite assists teams towards this goal.
Complete Integration, Complete Traceability, and Complete Visibility.
Turn process into practice
The heart of DevSuite lies in the ability to configure and enforce process controls. No one knows the ideal development process for a company’s teams better than their own managers. This is a key concept within DevSuite – the ability to configure a process must be easy to use, intuitive, and meaningful. By using graphical configuration tools in a point and click environment, managers and leads can quickly and easy create and change processes. These processes are then rolled out an enforced by the application – turning processes into daily practices.
DevSuite is a modular system. Each component can exist on its own as a best-of-breed tool. However, the applications can be seamlessly integrated in a variety of solutions. This integration provides new levels of traceability. Teams can now see requirements that have no implementation work, test functionality against a common set of specifications, embed designs with the information developers see for their work assignments, and report across a wide spectrum of project data. Remove the guesswork from day to day development with DevSuite.

TechExcel DevSuite Products
- TechExcel KnowledgeWise - The functional system to easily and efficiently collect, organize and refine informal ideas gathered from a wide variety of sources, such as internal ideas, feature requests, customer feedback, marketing requirements, and more into a centralized repository, as well as the underlying knowledge engine that supports the entire suite of products. Through this common set of knowledge access points, product teams – from executive management through to delivery management – has the visibility and access points appropriate for their environment and role.
- TechExcel DevSpec - Good product ideas may or may not be implemented - these are strategic decisions made by product managers by balancing priorities, resources, and schedules. The strategic process of compiling conceptual knowledge (ideas) into formalized feature specifications is managed by DevSpec. More than just the refinement of ideas this formal process results in a commitment by the product management team to what features they will deliver in a final product release.
- TechExcel DevPlan - Manages the transformation of concepts into formal strategic plans. DevPlan offers an intuitive planning hierarchy to formalize scope and optimize resource usage, team-based planning and calendaring capabilities. These features enable complete control over all product development projects from design planning to implementation and enables increased team efficiency and collaboration.
- TechExcel DevTrack - Building on the strategic vision, deliverables and milestones of DevPlan, DevTrack manages the implementation process. DevTrack powerful and flexible framework coordinates workflow, notification, escalation, routing, version control, activity tracking, QA testing, multi-release management and much more. Once an area of development is ready for implementation, DevTrack ensures that teams execute their tasks within the context of DevPlan's project breakdown structure. Designs and specifications are easily viewable by the DevTrack user so that no work is performed without an approved concept driving it; managers can also quickly identify areas that require design and schedule brainstorming sessions, or presentations of completed designs, in order to refine their vision.
- TechExcel DevTest - DevTest helps QA teams manage every aspect of their testing process, from team management to test planning and analysis. Teams can create and manage release and test cycles, plan and assign tasks, execute test coverage, and submit product defects, all in a single application. The product manages functional regression testing, performance testing, and usability testing; what's more, each test case template is linked to a specific DevPlan feature so the test case owner has direct visibility to all feature-related knowledge.
