The platform supports the following DevOps tools:
  • Plan: Provides a sophisticated low-code change management software application designed to facilitate comprehensive change tracking and issue management. It incorporates custom workflow automation, allowing users to tailor processes to their specific needs without extensive coding knowledge.

  • Control: Provides a source control system with GitHub-compatible APIs.

  • Deploy: Standardizes and simplifies the process of deploying software components to each environment in your development cycle.

    Deploy helps you meet the challenge of deploying software throughout your enterprise by providing tools that improve both deployment speed and reliability. The release automation tools in Deploy provide complete visibility into n-tiered deployments. You can use the tools to model processes that orchestrate complex deployments across every environment and approval gate.

  • Test: Brings together test data, test environments, and test runs and reports into a single, web-based browser for testers and non-testers.
  • Measure: Enables you to visualize and measure your DevOps toolchain and data and can better determine the creation of value as work proceeds from idea to customer. Measure provides data that helps teams to identify value creation, bottlenecks, and team issues. Measure consolidates testing and security metrics across your organization. Improves governance across your tools, throughout your organization.
  • Release: Enables you to standardize and automate processes in your release lifecycle. With Release, you can move releases through your development cycle's phases, from preproduction to production. You can create and implement a predictable schedule of releases for your software applications. If you use team-based planning software, you can integrate related changes to your release plan to make your plan comprehensive and clear. You can openly share your release plan and status with all stakeholders so that they know the schedule and the key milestones and can identify issues that might delay releases.
