Balancing speed and quality is a huge issue for today's software development organizations. Many have turned to application lifecycle management (ALM) tools to bring order to the potential chaos of the delivery process, but due to ALM's nature, this may be wasting precious time, effort, and costs that could be saved with a different strategy: continuous development (also known as continuous integration).

Read this expert e-guide to learn how, by coordinating rapid software builds with automated testing, continuous development reduces the costs that ALM incurs in:

• Requirements validation
• Design validation
• Testing
• Regression errors and rework
• Integration
• And release.

Also in this e-guide, get an introduction to the relatively new "DevOps" concept: i.e. what it is, if it's necessary, and who's using it.
