What OpenText ALM Octane is
OpenText ALM Octane is a paid, web-based software delivery management product for agile planning and testing. Premium includes agile boards, team backlog and sprint planning, cross-release planning, and manual and automated test execution. It also connects with DevOps, security, code coverage, and ChatOps integrations. Scrum and Kanban support accompany backlog management, sprint planning, and agile reporting. Ultimate includes every Premium capability and adds scaled agile SAFe programs, release process management, cross-workspace reporting, shared dashboards and workspaces, and data access control. The two plans therefore separate core agile and testing work from broader program and workspace management. OpenText lists pricing on request and no free plan. Teams can use the web product and review the plan capabilities before contacting OpenText about pricing and fit.
