XStudio, developed by Gavaldo Consulting, is an Application Life-Cycle Management (ALM) solution aimed at enhancing quality management throughout the complete life-cycle of products and projects. The software caters to businesses of various sizes and is utilized by professionals and industries such as software development, quality assurance/testing, project management, IT services, and manufacturing.

## Key Features

**Life-Cycle Management**: XStudio adapts to different methodologies and offers integrated management of all entities involved in the product's life-cycle. It supports Agile, V-Model, RUP, Kanban, or custom methodologies. The software is designed to manage teams, projects, products, releases, sprints, requirements, specifications, assets, tests, test cases, exploratory sessions, test campaigns, bugs, and bidirectional traceability.

**Automation Connectivity**: XStudio provides launchers for various automation frameworks such as QTP/UFT, Selenium/WebDriver, JMeter, soapUI, and Cucumber. It offers almost 90 launchers for executing automated tests and allows integration with Continuous Integration systems like Bamboo, Jenkins, Hudson, or TeamCity. XStudio also supports distributed tests on remote agents and provides real-time result tracing and consolidation.

**Enabling DevOps**: XStudio aims to facilitate efficient DevOps practices by connecting with Continuous Integration systems, enabling distributed tests on remote agents, providing real-time result tracing and consolidation, and monitoring resources during testing with SNMP Monitoring.

**Connectors**: XStudio offers real-time connectors to third-party requirements management systems (Generic, JIRA, VersionOne) and bug-tracking systems (Generic, JIRA, Trac, Bugzilla, Mantis, Clearquest, VersionOne, Redmine, QC, YouTrack). It provides a REST API with 400+ methods for programmatically driving actions and a simple and flexible open-source SDK for launcher configuration/development. Additionally, XStudio allows the development of custom triggers for automated processes.

**Visual Data Analysis**: XStudio offers out-of-the-box dimension-based and time-based data analysis diagrams, enabling users to generate dashboards with tasks, charts, and metrics. It allows the export of reports in various formats (xml, html, csv, docx, pdf) and provides visual analysis capabilities for products, requirements, specifications, test executions, campaigns, defects, and more.

**Modern UX**: XStudio supports multiple clients including XStudio.web, XStudio JNLP/Java client, and a fat client for Windows, Linux, and MacOSX. It ensures a consistent user experience across all modules with tree-based management and web-style navigation. XStudio features wizards, contextual menus, and an embedded chat widget for discussions. It also includes a powerful search engine, spell-checker, filtering, and customization options.

**User Management & Security**: XStudio offers customizable user profiles and rights management, supports user groups/teams/squads for project-specific access, and provides remote secured connection using SSH or port forwarding. It integrates with LDAP/Active Directory for user authentication and ensures SSL and HTTPS support for secure communication.

**Quality Focus**: XStudio supports both automated and manual tests execution. It includes a dedicated exploratory testing module based on Session-Based Test Management. The software enables automatic conversion of exploratory notes to scripted tests and offers 5 different interfaces for executing manual tests. XStudio also provides control over version-controlled automated script files.

**KPIs You Need**: XStudio provides one-click assessment of requirements, specifications, and test completion. It offers one-click testability and quality assessment, facilitating at-a-glance status assessment using radar-based visualization. The software also supports quality-driven development assessment using the test pyramid.

**Campaign and Sessions**: XStudio enables smart campaign design with filtering options and automatic ordering of tests in campaigns based on dependencies and priorities. It allows merging of multiple test campaigns for consolidation and generates residual campaigns from master campaigns. XStudio also builds traceability matrix and converts exploratory tests to manual tests.

Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is closely related to Agile Development but is broader in scope. Where agile development is primarily a way of organizing development cycles within the product development process, ALM is broader in scope and is concerned with development, but also delivery and maintenance of the software over the life of the application. ALM covers a product from inception to retirement, not just the development component of a product’s life.
