Hewlett-Packard has updated its Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) suite to accommodate the ever-quickening pace of today's software programming teams. "A lot of agile teams are writing code so fast that they lose the ability to test early. At first, with a lot of small, incremental, changes, they may not see the effect of hidden defects or technical debt building up," said Kelly Emo, HP director of software product marketing. "If you can get developers to get a very fast load test to run against, you will have speed and software that is really solid."
