APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Software
Application lifecycle management is the process of managing an app’s development, from design to final release, and establishing a framework for managing changes. The typical application lifecycle starts with the design of a new app or feature. The app is planned based on requirements analysis and specifications. Next, the app is implemented per the specifications and then tested. The new app is staged for final testing before it gets deployed to production. This cycle repeats for every new app or feature. It’s also used for app maintenance, such as when features are enhanced or bugs are fixed. A governance and change management framework directs the development process.
