A developer then can click on the LiveLink URL to gain instant access to the multi-machine environment in the precise state captured by QA and fix the bug. VMware Lab Manager takes snapshots of complex multi-machine configurations, captures them to a shared library and assigns them a LiveLink URL that QA engineers can flag and enter into a bug report. VMware Lab Manager solves this with “closed-loop” defect reporting, troubleshooting and resolution. Even when relying on well-written bug reports, software defects often are difficult to reproduce and fix because of differences in the environment and state of systems across test and development organizations. This increases the productivity of IT operations and development teams, which no longer are saddled with tedious and time-consuming tasks and instead can focus resources on higher-value activities. VMware Lab Manager eliminates manual system setup and provisioning tasks. This improves on commonly employed fixed and static resource allocation strategies that do not map to the ebb and flow of development activity across teams and projects and result in suboptimal asset utilization. VMware Lab Manager uses a shared pool of server, networking and other software lab resources and allocates them to teams on an as-needed basis. Reduced development and test lab capital and lower operating costs.VMware Lab Manager extends the power of VMware Infrastructure with these benefits: “Offerings that are capable of providing a closed-loop framework for unifying IT tasks and teams across the software lifecycle supply a truly unique and innovative way of delivering more value to the organization.” “Traditionally, one of the nagging points of application lifecycle solutions has been their inability to provide an effective ‘handshake’ between the development and production sides of the house, resulting in broken communication and hobbled processes,” said Theresa Lanowitz, founder and CEO of analyst firm voke. Users of the product can be local or remote to the VMware Lab Manager installation, enabling customers with remote development and test teams to share lab assets and machine images. These products together leverage the power and flexibility of VMware Infrastructure to provide the only complete, closed-loop software lifecycle automation framework that enables efficient, bi-directional management and movement of complex multi-machine software configurations through all stages of the software lifecycle. VMware Lab Manager is optimized for use in the development, test and integration stages of an organization’s software lifecycle process, complementing VMware VirtualCenter, which supports the production-oriented stages of the process: staging, deployment and management of production software systems. “VMware Lab Manager leverages VMware Infrastructure to simplify and streamline the software lifecycle, automating the setup, capture, storage and sharing of multi-machine software configurations and making them available on demand to development and test teams through a self-service portal.” “VMware is committed to bringing products to market that harness the power and flexibility of VMware Infrastructure to transform and enhance our customers’ most critical IT processes,” said Dan Chu, vice president of emerging products and markets at VMware.
