It includes modules for planning, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. OpenText AQM is a software suite for application development and testing. It is developed and marketed by OpenText—the product was previously owned by Micro Focus , Hewlett Packard Enterprise , Hewlett-Packard , and Mercury Interactive . It includes tools for requirements management, test planning and functional testing, performance testing (when used with Performance Center), developer management (through integration with developer environments such as Collabnet, TeamForge and Microsoft Visual Studio), and defect management.

AQM is a combination of a common platform, several key applications and a dashboard used for Fmanaging the core lifecycle of applications, from design through readiness for delivery to operations. All of these core lifecycle activities are connected together from a workflow perspective with a common management console, layer of project tracking and planning and built on a common software foundation containing a consistent repository and open integration architecture with a supported SDK.

AQM is intended to provide Information Technology departments with a centralized application management platform for managing and automating within and across application teams and throughout the complete process of developing an application, within a single workflow.
