Beginning Application Lifecycle Management


Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is an area of rapidly growing interest in the development community. ALM is all about how you can manage the entire cycle of building software. With a good ALM process in place, you can develop software faster, more cost effectively, and with greater quality than before. This book shows you what ALM is and why it matters. Modern organizations depend on software and software systems in many ways. Business processes are often implemented in a digital flow; and without software to support this, even small companies can experience problems. For most companies, the world has changed quickly in the last few years, and they need to adapt constantly. If you want information these days, it’s available at your fingertips all the time. It hasn’t always been this way. You might remember the days back when you were a teenager. Music and movies were, and always will be, two of the top interests. For Joachim, this obsession started during my teen years, and he chased rare records by his favorite artists, and hard-to-find horror movies. When he found a rare vinyl pressing of a precious record from the United States, for instance, he was ecstatic—not to mention the emotional turmoil he experienced when he managed to purchase a Japanese edition of the same record. In those days, he wrote snail mail asking for mail-order record catalogs from all over the world, based on ads in magazines such as Rolling Stone and Melody Maker. After carefully considering what he wanted to purchase, he wrote the purchase order, enclosed crisp bills, and sent a letter with the order inside. Then came the long wait for the package. And believe us, this wait could be long indeed. Nowadays, you can access the Internet, check some sites, and directly purchase what you want using a credit card. The stock available at many sites is huge compared to what it was in Joachim’s teens, and you can usually find what you want very quickly. In a few days the package comes, and you can begin using the things you bought.
