Integrated Alm Aids Global Application Development Teams

Globalization of business enterprises have only increased with the aggressive competitive spirit

. To stay ahead of the competitors, organizations get the best-of-breed software tools and IT infrastructure from different vendors. Such tools though are meant for various phases of the application lifecycle hardly are integrated. Most of these tools which are used in various application developments are meant for functions such as requirement management, architecture, coding, testing and tracking and release management.

The increasing demands from the customers, for has paved way for software development process to go global. IT enterprises either work with teams from multiple locations and multiple countries or outsource the projects as a whole or in parts to external agencies. Under such circumstance application lifecycle management becomes challenging with multiple teams from distant locations work on the same application lifecycle. Integrated ALM helps these teams

to overcome the challenges of working across remote locations.

Further for the organization integrating the ALM tools was necessary to disseminate and implement methodologies and process that would be best if used universally across the teams. Using the automated processes across will not only ensure timely project completion in line with organizational goals and objectives, but also consistency and predictability in the results. Besides, integrating ALM tools directly showcases on the quality as it enables efficient testing and reduces defects.

The innovation in technology has led to the development of a service integration bus for information technology environment in the organization. This however, has helped to resolve daunting challenges faced by both the local and global organizations. An Enterprise Service Bus, would provide a vendor-neutral ALM platform, and allow integration of standard Software development lifecycle or ALM tools with the help of adapters. Integrating the application lifecycle management and ITSM with the help of these adapters and integration bus will facilitate tracking and processing of different artifacts that are stored and shared in SharePoint. This would not only facilitate greater collaboration and visbility of artifacts maintained by other users but will also make it feasible for organizations to utilize tools for requirement management, configuration management or test management .

Integrating all the custom made products that supports various phases in the applications lifecycle with the help of an integration bus ensures cross lifecycle transparency and automation of the macro and micro level across various disciplines. For an effective SharePoint integration, the integration bus adapter provides a cross-tool visibility, traceability and automation through the workflow and also provides a bidirectional access to task updates.
