Hello once again, fellow VIVIT TQA SIG members! 

At HP DISCOVER on June 4, 2012, I gave an advanced training session on HP ALM 11 ("Deep Dive into HP ALM 11", http://www.vivit-worldwide.org/events/event_details.asp?id=211458). For the participants I have collected a list of useful links, webinar archives and resources that I also want to share with the larger Vivit community. You will find this information in a series of three blog articles.

This post is the second one. It contains info about the value of ALM 11.5 and best practices. The third article will focus on best practice resources from HP on ALM 11.5.  In the first posting I introduced new features of HP ALM 11.5. 

On the value and best practices of the ALM edition:
