Synchronize Software Development Activities With Alm
Software development lifecycle (SDLC) refers to the process of software development
. It includes various phases such as planning, requirements gathering & analysis, design, development, integration & testing, and deployment.
Each phase of the software development process involves the efforts of a team of stakeholders such as business analysts, architects, developers, testers and managers. They use different kinds of tools such as IBM RequisitePro, ClearQuest, ClearCase, Enterprise Architect, HP Quality Center, Microsoft TFS, SharePoint, Visual Studio, Eclipse IDE, Atlassian Jira, Perforce, CA Clarity, Subversion, Hudson and so on to complete each phase of the
software development lifecycle.
These best of breed tools help the different stakeholders to perform their respective tasks to near perfection. Though these are best of breed tools, they are siloed point function tools incapable of doing reciprocal operation with their counterparts.
The lack of effective collaboration and synchronization between the different practitioner tools resulted in limited traceability, wasted effort and time, unstable integrations, lower productivity, poor quality and unsatisfactory software delivery. This accelerated the need of a solution that would help overcome the limitations of the software development lifecycle. Hence the concept of
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) was born.
ALM is the capability to integrate, coordinate, and manage the different phases of the software delivery process. From development to deployment, ALM is a set of pre-defined process and tools that include definition, design, development, testing, deployment, and management. Throughout the ALM process, each of these steps are closely monitored and controlled. ALM brings about effective tool integration that helps to develop software applications of high quality at a faster rate.
A leading technology leader in application lifecycle management offers true end-to-end ALM with its innovative
ALM integration platform. This platform helps to do away with not only complex and costly integrations but also overcome the limitations of point-to-point integration and single vendor tools integration. Lets look at some of its advantages.
* Investment protection : This platform integrates tools from different vendors, including internally developed tools. Hence, it protects all the tool investments by a development organization.
* Best of breed tools for the best function : It allows integration of multiple third party ALM tools from different vendors for the same function. Moreover, it supports simultaneous use of multiple tools from multiple vendors in a single tool ecosystem.
* Flexible integration business rules : This platform does not have any hard coded embedded business rules and therefore are easily configurable.
