Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)

CASE STUDY

Clinical-Stage Oncology Company Automates Regulated IT Workflows with ProcessX

Focus on requirements and how your application should function to meet user needs. Enable an end-to-end holistic approach to ALM using ProcessX.

Application lifecycle management (ALM) oversees the initial planning and development of a software application. It involves testing and maintenance while the application is in use and creating a plan for decommissioning and retirement.

From end to end, ALM includes tasks for:

Requirements management and project scope
Software architecture and programming
Software testing and maintenance
Risk identification and management
Continuous integration
Change management
Release management
Decommissioning

The Importance of ALM

ALM provides a roadmap for application development and helps organizations focus on meeting user needs. It incorporates test strategies for verification and validation throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

When it’s time for decommissioning, ALM specifies a data migration strategy to ensure a smooth and efficient process.

Application lifecycle management helps your organization to:

Improve collaboration and communication
Have more visibility into workflows
Maintain compliance requirements
Deploy applications faster
Deliver high-quality apps
Prepare for app retirement

Maintain a Continuous State of Compliance

USDM provides a vendor assurance report for every technology vendor it partners with. It details how well the vendor follows the SDLC and addresses quality. The report saves you time auditing these vendors and ensures that they are qualified to provide products and services that you need. USDM Cloud Assurance for ProcessX delivers a validation and impact assessment after every patch and upgrade to the ServiceNow platform and provides the necessary validation documentation.

Cloud Assurance helps your organization automate, streamline, and simplify GxP compliance. Some customers use the validation lifecycle management platform and have an integrated approach to managing their systems. For other customers, Cloud Assurance does only post-release testing or change management analysis. Whatever you need, we’re here to help.
