Application lifecycle management (ALM) is a continuous process of managing an application's life from initial development to final retirement. It integrates different disciplines involved in software development, such as business management, software engineering, and project management, to streamline and improve the software development process. ALM comprises several stages, including requirements management, design and architecture, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Various tools play a pivotal role in optimizing and streamlining each stage of the software development process. Monitoring and analytics tools provide real-time insights into application behavior, enabling teams to make data-driven decisions. DevOps ALM is a fusion of DevOps practices with traditional ALM, focusing on continuous integration and delivery while maintaining high software management standards. It accelerates the software development process, improves collaboration, and enables continuous delivery and deployment. Effective ALM practices include creating well-defined requirement documents, implementing effective version control, setting up automated testing, and establishing feedback loops. Embracing these practices is crucial for the success of software applications.
