General info on this session

What this webinar IS: • Informal demonstration of HP ALM 11.50 features

• Short (due to time constraints) practical demo (therefore limited only to a portion of Requirements Module in ALM 11.50)

• Aimed at beginner/entry level ALM users (or without too much of knowledge on ALM) • Its aim is to raise awareness on the ALM features and to generally help users out

• Demo applicable (mostly) for versions 10.x, 11.x

What this webinar ISN’T: • Training, official or otherwise

• Not targeting advanced/experienced users • Not looking at the other new features in ALM 11.50 (Sprinter, ALI, SAP etc.)
