Quality Gates and Readiness Reporting with SAP Cloud ALM

Keep this: job aid

Cloud ALM quality gate card

• Gate = Quality Gate task with a checklist; at least one per Activate phase.
• Each checklist item: scope, measure, threshold, Cloud ALM source, owner.
• Coverage: report design, execution and pass coverage by process.
• Defects: open by priority and process, created vs resolved trend, stuck items.
• Turn high-priority defects into risk statements: impact, workaround, owner, date.
• Weekly hygiene filters: unlinked tests, unscoped requirements, unfinished runs, empty defect fields, duplicates.
• Fix data in Cloud ALM, never in the slide.
• Freeze evidence: snapshot with filter, date and author; circulate 24–48 hours ahead.
• Outcomes: pass, pass with conditions, fail with re-gate date.
• Every condition = linked follow-up task with owner, due date and verification.
