Requirements management and test verification management to ensure traceability and optimize the entire development process.
■ Benefits of Implementation
1) Promotion of Collaboration
By introducing application lifecycle management tools, data is centrally managed, allowing each department to reference the same data. This makes it easier to share information across departments, leading to enhanced collaboration.
2) Cost Reduction
When multiple software applications are used within a company, issues often arise, such as unused licenses being left idle, resulting in underutilization of software assets. In contrast, with ALM, all software resources can be managed, enabling development without incurring unnecessary costs.
3) Reduction of Lead Time
As development becomes more complex, managing data can become cumbersome, leading to a lack of traceability and extended development periods. By achieving proper data management through ALM, waste is eliminated, ultimately resulting in reduced lead times.
4) Assurance of Quality
During the testing phase, a lack of strict management can often raise concerns about quality. However, ALM consistently ensures traceability for test plans and test results, making quality assurance through testing more robust.
