During which ALM step are requirements and environments defined?

• A. Plan Release
• B. Develop
• C. Test
• D. Release

Answer: (A)

Defining what to build and where it will run happens in the Plan Release phase. This step translates the gathered needs into a concrete release plan, capturing and prioritizing requirements and laying out the environments that will be used to deliver and verify the software (development, testing, staging, production, plus any required configurations and dependencies). Having this information established early ensures the team builds the right features and has the appropriate environments to validate them before moving forward. Development then turns the plan into code, testing uses the defined environments to verify functionality and quality, and release deploys the validated software.
