Parasoft DTP (PDTP) is a development testing and software testing analytics tool from Parasoft that acts as a centralized hub for managing software quality and application security.[http://www.sdtimes.com/blog/post/2009/08/12/ALM-A-Bastardized-Term.aspx ALM: A "Bastardized" Term?] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090921014837/http://www.sdtimes.com/blog/post/2009/08/12/ALM-A-Bastardized-Term.aspx|date=2009-09-21}} by Jeff Feinman, SD Times, August 12, 2009 The software provides a dashboard which aggregates testing results and allows for compliance verification.
Overview
PDTP was introduced in 2009 as Parasoft Concerto.[http://searchsoftwarequality.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,sid92_gci1364383,00.html Parasoft Concerto Targets Policy-Driven Development] by Colleen Frye, SearchSoftwareQuality.com, August 12, 2009[http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/Parasoft-Releases-New-ALM-Tool-Concerto-875958/ Parasoft Releases New ALM Tool: Concerto] by Darryl K. Taft, eWeek, August 12, 2009 The platform generates software reports from routine software development tasks and compiles information from different software testing procedures to provide a summary of the software's codebase. It comes with built-in algorithms that perform various methods of analysis such as aggregated code coverage and change-based testing.{{cite web |last1=Zimmermann |first1=Tom |date=August 11, 2010 |title=Analytics for Software Development - Microsoft Technical Report MSR-TR-2010-111 |url=https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/analytics-for-software-development |access-date=2018-03-01 |quote=The overarching goal of analytics is to help managers move beyond information and toward insight}}
Features include a user-configurable reporting system with APIs to input data from software development or testing tools, and the ability to integrate with third-party tools.[http://www.sdtimes.com/PARASOFT_COMPOSES_CONCERTO_FOR_ALM/By_Jeff_Feinman/About_ALM_and_PARASOFT/33679 Parasoft Composes Concerto for ALM] by Jeff Feinman, SDTimes, August 13, 2009 Reports may be used to monitor and analyze how software is being implemented across multiple builds and aggregated across all software testing practices.[http://www.sdtimes.com/l/34981 Parasoft homes in on development process with latest Concerto] by Alyson Behr, SDTimes, November 24, 2010
