About Integration with Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Systems

Code Insight integrates with application lifecycle management (ALM) systems, enabling Code Insight users to create and manage external work items associated with inventory directly from Code Insight. With this integration, inventory requiring further review and remediation can be tracked externally as part of the user’s existing issue-tracking system.

For example, a Code Insight scan might uncover security vulnerabilities or copyleft licenses requiring further review by the Security and Legal teams. With an ALM integration, these reviews and any resulting remedial work can be quickly converted into work items in the ALM system.

Currently, Code Insight supports integration only with the ALM system Jira. Therefore, this chapter focuses the configuring this integration to enable users to create and manage issues on their Jira Server from Code Insight.
