About This Topic

Application lifecycle management (ALM) refers to the processes, models and tools that manage an application from idea conception through end-of-life. ALM includes the management of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) including requirements management, design, code, test, release management and software maintenance, but goes beyond SDLC and includes management of governance and operations processes. ALM tools facilitate adherence to software development processes and help to provide an integrated approach to application development.
