What is ALM (Application Lifecycle Management)? 

Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is the strategic process of managing a software or product lifecycle from initial concept through design, development, testing, deployment, maintenance, and end-of-life. It integrates people, processes, and tools to ensure collaboration, compliance, and efficiency across the entire lifecycle. 

ALM encompasses: 

  • Requirements Management 
  • Risk and Quality Management 
  • Testing and Validation 
  • Change and Release Management 
  • Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) 

 

Benefits of ALM: 

  • End-to-End Traceability across all development artifacts. 
  • Improved Collaboration between cross-functional teams. 
  • Regulatory Compliance for safety-critical industries. 
  • Faster Time-to-Market through streamlined workflows.
