TRANSCRIPT
ALM – Getting the conversation StartedMarco António [email protected]
Goals• Get the conversation going• Go through some thoughts and
misconceptions• Give some practical pointers and ideas• Have fun
Building Software was a bit diferente back then…
Teams were mainly developers…
Software was released once every couple of years….
Systems were very closed…
Services?!?! Why do I need them?
And then boom!!!
~Our industry does not respect
tradition, it only respects
innovation~
Satya Nadella
ALM - DefinitionIn summary, ALM is a set of pre-defined processes that start
somewhere in the business as an idea, a need, a challenge or a risk and then pass through different development phases such as
Requirements definition, design, development, testing, deployment, release and maintenance spanning across an entire lifecycle of a
product. Throughout the ALM process, each of these steps is closely monitored and controlled, followed by proper tracking and
documentation of any changes to the application.

“Time-to-market pressure is driving the application development lifecycle management market to evolve and expand.”
Gartner, Inc, Magic Quadrant for Application Development Life Cycle Management,T. E. Murphy et. al., 19 November 2013
“By 2016, more than 50 percent of application modernization efforts will address business demand for enhanced functionality to legacy applications, not cost reduction.”
Gartner, Inc, Predicts 2013: Business Impact of Technology Drives the Future Application Services Market, Allie Young et. Al., 6 March 2013
ALM lifecycles must evolve in order to stay competitive

Software development delays have a real cost to the business
Applications take too long to update or fix issues
Applications get to market late
Applications are of poor quality and are missing functionality

Why Agile and Continuous Value Delivery?
Agile:
Increases Return on Investment
DevOps:
To succeed in making both developers’ and IT operations’ lives easier.
Agile:Broad agreement in industry that application quality increased.

Tools to make your Life Easier…
“To empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more“
Satya Nadella
All Developers, All Languages, and All Platforms• mobile first, cloud firstOpenness and Cross-Platform Examples:• Build Agent written in NodeJS and open-
sourced• IDE Plug-ins open-sourced, most are Java• REST APIs / Service Hooks extensibility• Extensions Marketplace
Visual Studio Team Services
Not Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)
And does not even include one.
Given the name recognition of “Visual Studio” as an IDE, one might think along these lines…
Given a former product name of “Visual Studio Online”, again one might think along these lines…
What are Visual Studio Team Services and Team Foundation Server?
Team Services and TFS are essentially the same product
Team Services is our SaaS offering in the cloud while Team Foundation Server (TFS) is our on-premise (aka on-prem) offering
Team Services is updated every sprint (3 weeks) while TFS is updated once per quarter
What are Visual Studio Team Services and Team Foundation Server?
Integrated Suite of modular software development tools supporting application lifecycle management (ALM)
What are Team Services and Team Foundation Server?
• version control / code repository (e.g. Git)
• bug tracking and backlog/story management
• agile processes (e.g. Kanban boards)
• software build process and coordination (incl. CI)
• manual and automated testing
• package and artifact management
• release and deployment (incl. CD)
Integrated suite of toolsAlready fully integrated – no need to worry about combining individual packages from different vendors across multiple versions – save on integration and maintenance costs
Same tools are used by all developers (web, app, back-end, test), program managers and product managers (i.e. all stakeholders)
Single development stackJava, C++, .NET, etc. all using common developer tools platform with unified reporting and tracking
