6. StarTeam provides…Unified repository for all enterprise assetsIntegrates all key lifecycle assets in one repositorySupports full lifecycle traceability and impact analysisHighly optimized client-server interactionEnables scalable, highly efficient communicationSupports true multi-cast and event-based transactionsCustomizable workflow and formsRequires little, if any, programming skillManaged at the server so no client deployment issuesWorkflow objects are versioned with all other assetsEnables workflow and forms definition for all asset typesWhat Makes StarTeam Unique ?

7. Provides a single source of key information for distributed teamsStreamlines collaboration through a unified view of code and change requestsIndustry leading scalability combined with low total cost of ownershipExample: EDS savings of $1.3M / year on server and administration costs by consolidating thousands of global users onto Star Team.Benefits of Star Team

8. StarTeamThe resolution may involve modifying or creating new code, test cases or documentation – all of which are versioned The appropriate stakeholders interact with the issue through a customizable workflow – until resolutionIssues raised are placed in the central SCCM solution along with other drivers for change such as requirements and tasks.

9. StarTeamThe properties of each step in the workflow include notification, limiting the duration in a step and escalation.The workflow/s that govern the process are modified graphically and are version controlled in StarTeam too.

10. StarTeam“Promoting” a child view to a parent view may result in merge conditions. Files to merge are indicated……and a graphical merge tool allows users to determine the contents of the resulting merged file.

11. StarTeamChange Packages can then be applied to other branches of code by a simple drag and drop operation.“Change Packages” contain all the elements changed as a single commit.

12. StarTeamInteract with the StarTeam server in a variety of clients – Eclipse in this instance.Get access to all of the same items available in other clients – files, change requests, requirements, tasks, etc.And for each item, get access to all of the same meta-data – such as labels, links and history.

13. StarTeamFor users requiring a zero-install client, a web client is available. Get access to all of the same items available in other clients – files, change requests, requirements, tasks, etc.And see recently viewed items and favorites for quick retrieval

14. Continuous integrationTeam Inspector

15. Team InspectorTeam Inspector works transparently with your existing version control systems to continuously analyze changes. This process supported by key functions designed to proactively address the most common blunders shared by software development teams.For example, it supports:Server-based build and test automationAutomated continuous upstream testing and manager-level reportingRelease readiness inspections and trending indicatorsPublishingRebuildingThird-party inspectors and Software Change and Configuration Management support

SCTM Overview – Test LibrariesReduced waste with re-use through test libraryHow does it work?Shared test steps are stored in test library accessible from multiple test definitions Shared across various projects and baselinesAdvantagesUpdates to test steps are replicated automatically (low maintenance)Test steps can be bundled together and called from test definitions (Example: Login steps)Easily add or remove links to test librarySteps can be detached so they are no longer linked to the librarySteps can be added to the library from an existing test definitionScope (Visibility) of the shared assets is configurableProjects are assigned to a Library (or multiple libraries)User Access to Projects determines Library access

77. SCTM Overview – Quality Goals (SCTM2010 R2)Quality Goals (exit criteria) definable set of testing metrics that the project must meet in order for the quality to be considered acceptable. Each Test Manager project can contain one or more quality goals. In Test Manager, a quality goal is comprised of the following two elements: A requirement or test definition. A custom attribute or property of type List with a corresponding percentage value. Quality Goal ExampleIf a requirement has a property of Risk with values of High, Medium, and Low, it should be possible to define a quality goal of: Requirement Goal - Risk High = 100% Medium = 50% Low = 10% The 100% means that all of the tests that meet that criteria (linked to a requirement that has the High attribute value) must execute and pass to meet that goal.
