ALM Tab

Code Insight integrates with application lifecycle management (ALM) systems, enabling Code Insight users to create and manage external work items from Code Insight. An external work item helps users keep track of inventory review or remediation work that needs to be performed outside of Code Insight.

The ALM tab on the Administration page is used by a Code Insight System Administrator to configure ALM instances. An ALM instance contains the information needed by Code Insight to access an ALM system and set up a work item. Once a Code Insight project is associated with an ALM instance, users can create work items on the ALM system and track work progress—all from Code Insight.

ALM Support Currently for Jira Only

Currently, because Code Insight supports integration only with Jira as an ALM system, the descriptions in this section focus on the setup up a Jira ALM instance used to create issues on a Jira server from Code Insight.

For a complete description of how to configure and manage Jira ALM instances, refer to the “Integrating with Application Lifecycle Management” chapter of the Code Insight Installation & Configuration Guide.
