Contents of the Chapter
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) encompasses all processes and tools for transparently managing the entire lifecycle of SAP and non-SAP software solutions. The lifecycle begins with requirements gathering, continues through development, implementation, testing, deployment, and operation with continuous improvement, and ends with decommissioning. ALM is a key component of modern software development and helps establish appropriate guidelines for producing high-quality software.
