Software developers, testers and quality assurance (QA) professionals are required to deliver feature-rich, high-quality products with limited manpower, small budgets and short timelines. Traditionally, software development processes for setup and management of complex test environments have largely been manual, slow, inefficient and error prone. VMLogix LabManager provides users with an innovative software lifecycle management Software Lifecycle Management is the concept that an Independent software vendor can control how its software is licensed and used throughout its usable lifecycle. Because software is not always a static product, vendor's often add additional features and/or updates for security purposes. solution that fully leverages emerging virtualization platforms, including Microsoft and VMware, and provides complete support for physical machines. With VMLogix LabManager, developers, testers and IT operations staff can ensure rapid, highly repeatable, resource-optimized deployments of complex, multi-machine software test environments. As a result, developers shave months off their cycle times, reduce infrastructure costs, seamlessly share resources across all boundaries and dramatically increase the quality of final delivered software. "Virtualization in the software development lifecycle uniquely provides the ability to promote global collaboration across departments, divisions and companies," said Andi Mann, senior analyst at Enterprise Management Associates. "The technology makes it possible for users to exchange development environments with each other - regardless of time, location or project status. This solves costly developer pain points and presents significant competitive advantages through speedier development and time to market." VMLogix LabManager can be downloaded and deployed in less than 30 minutes on all current Microsoft Windows See Windows.
