Abstract
The article highlights tool integration within the Agile Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) environments. An essential ingredient of an effective agile ALM process is concerned with the techniques used to form the coalitions of tools that support some or all of its activities. This article aims to address the problem faced by practitioners while establishing a tool chain environment, aligned with development process and culture. To provide practical step wise information on the creation of a tool chain, we have explored how the ALM process model can be used for creating a skeleton of specialized tools. We identify a set of proposed criteria for tool selection and show how tools can be set up on different development platforms.
