Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)

ALM integrates people, processes, and tools to manage a software application from initial requirements through retirement.

Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) provides a unified framework for software delivery by synchronizing requirements management, development (SDLC), testing (QA), and operations. Industry standards like Micro Focus ALM and Atlassian Jira Align enable teams to track traceability across complex builds, ensuring every line of code maps back to a specific business need. By automating workflows and centralizing documentation, ALM reduces release cycles and maintains compliance in high-stakes environments like finance and healthcare.
