LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

Application Lifecycle Management Definition
• The continuous process of managing the life of an application,
• …from the initial idea to the delivery (or the end of the project),
• …involving all the stakeholders wherever they are,
• …with compliance with enterprise processes and securities policies
ALM Solution = Software Engineering solution = Software Forge
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is just one part of ALM > ALM has to go forward

ALM : coordinate people, process and information
in an iterative cycle

ALM Must-Have Tools: project management

Objectives:
- Organize and monitor projects
- Apply and comply to corporate policies
- Define, implement, and track development processes

Knowing what you have to do in real-time: PERSONAL dashboard
- Projects the user is member of. Here, the user is a member of one project but he could belong to several ones.
- Artefacts the user submitted and the ones assigned to the user
- Some graphs the user decided to view in his dashboard to get real-time progress of projects: Gantt chart, Bug status, etc.
- Documents the user has to review and those requested for approval
- Deliveries the user is monitoring

Activated Tools for this project
Project Members
Continuous Integration Status
Real-time, aggregated, cross-project view of status : PROJECT dashboard
Graphics
Latest news of the project
Latest file releases
Latest commits

Plan tasks and monitor project progress: realtime reports & activity streams

Working with Agile approaches

Applying security and confidentiality rules
Fine-grained management of permissions : WHO can do WHAT?
- Apply to user groups (developers, project managers, external partners, customers,
marketing service, etc.)
- Apply to every tool of the Suite
Must have: Integration with enterprise directory (LDAP or Active Directory)

Apply permissions to user group

Enforce consistency of your business development processes
Workflow: process automation
 Define flow control, rules for each step, required input and output information

Define transition conditions: Workflow in tracker

ENTERPRISE/TEAM PROCESS
> Do all projects (have to) apply the same process ?
> Can each project follow its own process/methodology?
 How can we tailor the tool for our business?
Project Templates : Save all the project configuration to reuse it
- Reuse activated tool and their configuration
- Reuse documentation structure and mandatory documents
- Reuse user groups and their access rights
+ Projects are structured to apply the selected method
+ Creation of new project is faster and easier

ALM Must-Have Tools: configuration management

Objectives:
- Develop and deliver together under control
- Store and track versions and source code revisions
- Compare and trace
- Guarantee consistency
Tools such as CSV, Subversion, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, etc.

Centralized Version Control System: CVS, Subversion
> only one repository
+ make version management easier
Distributed Revision Control System: Git, Mercurial
> Peer-to-peer approach
> Several repositories
> Centralized work
+ users can work even when not connected to a network
+ most operations much faster (no network involved)
- cloning of a repository is slower than a centralized checkout

ALM Must-Have Tools: Quality Assurance

Objective:
 Speed up delivery of software projects
 Increase quality of deliverables
 Reduce technical debt
How?
 integrating changes to the development project continuously and automatically
 automatically run all checks available
 detect most breaking issues whenever they are introduced
Since the changes are small, it is much easier to isolate and fix the root cause

Continuous integration: Hudson/Jenkins
+ Detect and fix integration problems continuously
+ Early warning of conflicting changes
+ Constant availability of a "current" build for testing & demo
+ Customers and partners can follow the latest developments in a transparent way

View and assess test execution runs and results

Add Hudson/Jenkins widget on dashboard to see at a glance continuous integration status
