Application Lifecycle Management - Activities, Methodologies, Disciplines, Tools, Benefits, Alm Tools and Products (Paperback)

Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is a continuous process of managing the life of an application through governance, development and maintenance. ALM is the marriage of business management to software engineering made possible by tools that facilitate and integrate requirements management, architecture, coding, testing, tracking, and release management.
