MKS Integrity is an application lifecycle management platform developed by MKS Inc. and was first released in 2001. The software is client/server, with both desktop (java/swing) and web client interfaces. It provides software development organizations with a collaborative environment in which they can manage the end-to-end processes of development, from requirements management, revision control, and build management to test management and software deployment as well as associated reports & metrics.

Overview
MKS Integrity enables software development teams to track all aspects of their work, such as work items, source control, reporting, and build management, in a single product. MKS Integrity has integrations with popular IDEs including Eclipse and Visual Studio as well as support for IBM i.

As an ALM platform, MKS Integrity is built from the ground up around a single repository. The three pillars of ALM — traceability, process automation, and reporting and analytics — are all easier to support in a single-repository solution and some companies may see additional value in this approach. .

While delivered as a single platform in the ALM market, MKS Integrity is recognized by industry analysts in the traditional disciplines and capabilities that are converging in the ALM space. This includes Software Configuration Management, Requirements Management and Agile Software Development.

MKS Integrity is promoted as an ALM platform, but does offer a wide array of integrations to point tools that apply to the software development lifecycle.

History
MKS Integrity was previously known under different brands, including MKS Source, MKS Integrity Manager, Implementer (for IBM i) and others. These were consolidated under a single brand, with the release of MKS Integrity 2007.
