Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Market Analysis:

Application lifecycle management (ALM) refers to the process of supervising, managing, and coordinating an applications lifecycle from the very initial to its completion. Application lifecycle management starts from the designing of an application. The application comes into existence with the very starting from deciding what all resources and specifications are required. Once the prototype or an initial layout is finished it is tested to understand what the application is still lacking or what changes could bring better outcomes. After all the changes are done and final product is ready to be released it is once again checked and tested to ensure that the application is working fine. Once it passes the final test it is ready to be mass produced and circulated around the globe. This process continues for every new application software development. Further ALM is also used for maintenance related work, to remove bugs or other issues causing negative impact on the application’s performance. ALM ensures that a software application can be designed, developed, and deployed at a faster pace. ALM solutions are being widely adopted by organizations across the globe for the benefits it provides. ALM helps in optimum utilization of human and technological resources and saves from wastage of funds, time, and energy.

Growing smart device users, increased need for efficiency and grater engineering productivity are the major factors driving market growth

In the past decade smartphone users have grown massively and it has led to development of various browsers or platforms to provide various applications and software to the users. Creating a software for various platforms usually includes multiple activities which is typically not restricted only to writing codes. These multiple activities are called as development and operations (DevOps) and they are present throughout the application’s lifecycle. They include the course of action for an application’s development. For instance, a basic approach would be creating a basic design, planning for the same, continuous tracking of activities, developing codes, implementation, managing source codes, running prototype, testing, monitoring till the work is completed. This saves the developers from wasting excess resources and funds and ensures that the product will be of utmost quality. Also, ALM helps in ensuring that the application software is developed well before time so that there are no chances of delay. ALM helps to maintain efficiency across all stages and increases the engineering productivity by providing support to organizations, groups, individuals, and teams in the testing and developing productivity. All these benefits have motivated developers across the globe to opt for ALM solutions to create a software.

Lack of appropriate tracking capabilities, limited technological resources and high initial investments are hampering market growth

Using an application lifecycle management for the development of an application makes it tough to trace the requirements throughout the software’s development lifecycle (SDLC). Further, small and medium sized businesses have limited technological and IT resources which don’t allow them to invest in ALM solutions. Also, they find ALM systems highly rigid and out of reach due to high initial investments.
Upgradations and advancements in application lifecycle management systems to create lucrative market opportunities

Growing developments in the application lifecycle management sector will loosen up the systems rigidity which sometimes hinders the working conditions and norms of an organization. Ongoing research and development work to create and enhance open source application lifecycle management systems will create major market opportunity. The next generation ALM systems will loosen up the rigidity and will be more flexible, cost-effective and easy to acquire at low investments. They would provide better solutions to a developer and focus on better set of activities and right course of actions to increase efficiency.
