Rapidly Set Up Multiple Test and Development Environments

Automate the setup, capture, storage and sharing of multi-machine software configurations with VMware Lab Manager. IT administrators can provide development and test teams with self-service, on-demand access to the configurations they need. With its shared library and shared pool of virtualized servers, VMware Lab Manager lets you efficiently move and share multi-machine configurations across software development and test teams and facilities.

Provision any Environment with a Single Click of the Mouse

With the single click of your mouse, you can provision new machines nearly instantly with VMware Lab Manager. Eliminate the painstaking multi-hour process of gathering machines, installing operating systems, installing and configuring applications and establishing inter-machine connections. Now software developers and QA engineers can fulfill their own provisioning needs, leaving IT in control of user management, storage quotas and server deployment policies—achieving the best of both worlds.

Allocate resources on an as-needed basis instead of maintaining multiple static systems that are only used sporadically. VMware Lab Manager lets you pool and share resources between development and test teams for maximum utilization—and increased cost savings.

Capture and Reproduce Software Defects—Every Time

Quickly reproduce software defects and resolve them earlier in the software lifecycle—and ensure higher quality software and systems. VMware Lab Manager enables “closed loop” defect reporting and resolution through its unique ability to “snapshot” complex multi-machine configurations in an error state, capture them to the library, and make them available for sharing—and troubleshooting—across development and test teams.

Ensure Secure, Flexible Outsourcing

Give your outsourced partners secure, remote access to your software lab – and maintain your flexibility to rapidly add, remove or replace outsourced resources as your needs change. Your intellectual property remains securely in Lab Manager’s environment, and you eliminate time-consuming and costly replication of equipment in your partner’s labs.

Integrate with Leading Test Management Tools

Enable users to access VMware Lab Manager seamlessly from within their preferred test management tools. Off-the-shelf integrations with Borland SilkCentral Test Manager and HP Quality Center allow users simply to select the desired multi-tier configuration and Lab Manager will do the rest — automatically provision the test environment, tear down the environment after a test is run, and capture the state of the application, test date and virtual machine configuration in the event of a failed test.
