Abstract
Introduction
The options available for building software applications have never been so
wide ranging as they are today. This is largely to do with the impact of the
Web, with different solution models available depending on user needs, from
infrastructure to end device considerations.
The most recent trend of cloud computing is also opening new possibilities
that are lowering the cost barrier, increasing access to high performance
computing, and also lowering the skill barrier for non-programmer information
workers, whether in SMEs or departments in large organisations, to build
business applications.
This Report reveals:
- The impact of Agile methodologies in application development.
- How a new generation of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) systems
