ALMtoolbox
Open-knowledge reference entry
ALMtoolbox (until 2015: GoMidjets) is an Israeli source code management and application lifecycle management (ALM) software company. Its main line of products is an enhancement toolbox for IBM Rational Software products.
History
The company was founded in 2009 by Tamir Gefen under the name GoMidjets, who previously worked on configuration management and ALM projects for the Israeli Air Force. For a long time Gefen was an active participant in IBM DeveloperWorks and in other configuration management forums; he was recognized as the fourth most active DeveloperWorks contributor. After studying the forums' users' most requested features in Rational Software products Gefen started GoMidjets and developed three ClearCase plug-ins according to market needs that he learned and marketed the tools he developed through the forums.
The company received the 2010 IBM Beacon Award and the 2011 IBM Champion Award. It is in a limited partnership with IBM.
In 2015, the company was renamed to ALMtoolbox.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “ALMtoolbox” is open-knowledge reference entry. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through ALMtoolbox, Open-knowledge and entry, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5581192. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2015, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
