Storage Migration Handling application attachments, binaries and UTF file formats.

• Complexity of Data Formats Multiple tools from different vendors. Variations in data formats variations in different tools Data formats vary from proprietary formats through plain text to xml.

• Security Data Security is enforced in different tools through different policies Prevent potential misuse of information

• Data Quality To maintain data integrity and consistency

• Data Volume Overall System Performance is affected in handling large volume of data. Careful planning required for migration process to avoid negative impact on peak processing hours

• Sends a call to the HP ALM adapter after a particular frequency of interval

• Collects the migrated data from the HP ALM adapter and puts it in a queue

• Processes the migrated data as per the configuration flows

• Executes actions on the migrated data to the TFS adapter for inserting it into the mapped TFS instance and Project

• Gets back the action results from the TFS adapter

• Maintains log for all events and actions happening in the adapters

Functions of HP ALM & TFS Adapters


HP ALM Adapter

• Communicates with the HP ALM adapter database

• Collects the migrated events from the database

• Sends the events to the Kovair Omnibus Platform

TFS Adapter

• Executes the action in the targeted TFS instance and the Project

• Complete support for Call 2 Tests

• HP ALM Requirements Folder Structure can be mapped to TFS Area Path for Requirement tracking

• HP ALM Releases & Cycles are mapped to TFS Iterations

• Migration of HP ALM Design Steps with Parameters and Default value

• Supports migration of History Data, RTF Fields, and Attachments

Features of Kovair Migration Solution



Example Scenario – 1Scenario

• Dev team works on TFS for automated software delivery

• QA team is migrating from HP ALM to TFS and MTM.

• In larger enterprises, migration is not done overnight

• Both the tools need to run in parallel for some transition time.

Omnibus Solution

• Initial migration of data from HP ALM to TFS

• Bidirectional synchronization of artifacts like Defects, Requirements and Test Cases between the two systems.

• Provides an interface to configure and start the Migration between the systems.

• Kovair’s ESB based integration bus makes sure that the items remain synchronized even after the Migration is over.

The Omnibus Solution to Scenario - 1



Example Scenario – 2Scenario


• QA team works on HP ALM and wants to continue with HP ALM.

• Teams continue to work on TFS and HP ALM and be in sync

• Objective is to increase efficiency and reduce delivery time.

Omnibus Solution

• Enables bidirectional synchronization of Requirements, Tests and Defects between the two tools.

• Allows simple drag and drop interface for configuration of the mappings and the integration rules.

• Event-action based orchestration engine automatically updates the relevant artifacts in both the systems keeping them in sync.


Example Scenario – 3

Scenario


• QA team works on HP ALM and wants to migrate to TFS.

• QA team likes to use the existing Quick Test Professional (QTP) scripts for automated testing.

Omnibus Solution

• Migration of artifacts like Requirements, Test Cases and Bugs from HP ALM to TFS

• Migration of QTP Test Scripts associated with HP ALM Test Cases.

• Migration of QTP Test Scripts and the associated Test Cases as Generic Tests.

• Migrated automated Test Scripts can be executed from MTM directly using QTP.

Benefits Derived from the Solution


• Created Unified TFS repository for all ALM assets - Requirements, Development, Test, Build and others

• Full collaboration between Development and QA teams

• Centralized reporting from TFS

• Easy and flexible configuration

• Execution of QTP Test Scripts linked with Test Cases from MTM

• Complete support of Manual, Automated and Load Testing from MTM

• Direct viewing of QTP Results from MTM
