Application Lifecycle Management

Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) refers to a software development approach that manages the entire lifecycle of applications—from initial planning through retirement. At Tecxed, we implement ALM best practices to ensure your critical business applications are developed and maintained efficiently.

Our ALM process brings together people, tools, and processes to plan, develop, test, deploy and maintain software solutions. It provides visibility across all stages including requirements management, development, QA testing, release management and operational support. With this holistic perspective, we can optimize each phase and catch and address issues early before they negatively impact costs or timelines.

Benefits of Application Lifecycle Management:

Improved Quality - ALM streamlines collaboration to catch defects sooner. Rigorous testing identifies gaps prior to deployment so applications perform as intended from the start.

Reduced Costs - Bug fixing late in the cycle or post-deployment is extremely expensive. ALM prevents rework through continuous integration, testing, and feedback across the entire development cycle.

Increased Agility - Smaller incremental releases are possible with ALM. It facilitates rapid and low-risk changes to meet shifting business needs through its emphasis on modularity, traceability and reusable assets.

Extended Application Lifespan - ALM supports evolved maintenance requirements and facilitates upgrades or migrations. This maximizes the return on development investments over the long term.

Better Governance - ALM applies structure, standards and controls to development for compliance, security and predictability. Comprehensive traceability allows impact analysis of any changes.
