CA Automates Complete Application Lifecycle for
Improved Deployment Times and Testing Efficiency
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced the availability of
CA Release Automation Continuous Delivery Edition, and several new
integrations across CA’s DevOps portfolio and third party solutions
creating the first integrated, fully automated and open continuous
delivery ecosystem. Organizations can now connect and automate the
entire app pipeline progression from development, to test, to
production, to accelerate deployment times of applications by as
much as 20 times* and improve testing efficiency by up to 25
percent.**
“To thrive in the application economy, digital transformation
must be driven by continuous delivery—the ability to rapidly and
reliably release applications that meet the demands of external and
internal customers alike,” said Jeff Scheaffer, general manager,
Continuous Delivery, CA Technologies. “CA is the only DevOps
solution provider that currently bridges development, testing,
release management and operations in an open, seamless tool chain
that helps organizations achieve entirely new levels of application
delivery speed and quality.”
Develop Swiftly, Test Agilely and Release Reliably
As organizations progress on their digital transformation
journey, the volume, velocity and complexity of applications
continues to grow. “Businesses no longer have the luxury of time.
Rising customer expectations, competitive threats, and increased
consumer choice have turned rapid delivery and iteration of
software applications into a competitive differentiator. Optimizing
the delivery value chain has become the new means to better
business outcomes,” according to Forrester Research.***
For application owners tasked with rapidly delivering innovative
and inspiring applications, but struggling with constraints and
dependencies across the software development lifecycle, CA helps
eliminate these challenges by providing continuous delivery
capabilities that enable organizations to improve release planning
and orchestration, use agile testing to test less and cover more,
provision data on demand and deploy simulated environments – all
with zero touch workflow.
This is accomplished through:
- CA Release Automation Continuous
Delivery Edition is a premium module for CA Release Automation that
enables zero-touch app progression and deployment. Its analytic
capabilities enable DevOps teams to plan, manage, analyze and
optimize the continuous delivery pipeline from a single control
point.
- CA Agile Requirements Designer
(formerly Grid-Tools Agile Designer) integration with CA Agile
Central (formerly Rally) automatically creates test cases with
maximum test coverage right from the requirements phase.
- CA Test Data Manager (formerly
Grid-Tools Data Maker) integration with CA Agile Central reduces
test cycle prep time by requesting and reserving test data from
within CA Agile Central.
- CA Service Virtualization integration
with CA Test Data Manager quickly generates realistic virtual data
and injects the data directly into a deployed virtual service to
improve the efficiency and quality of testing, while avoiding
compliance risks.
- CA Release Automation integration with
CA Test Data Manager automates the generation of proper test data
based on proper test cases defined for a particular build for a
faster, more optimized process.
- CA Application Test integrates with CA
Agile Central so that the history of test cases can be viewed by
the build number for the pipeline.
- CA Release Automation integration with
CA Agile Central takes test results, and based upon the results,
deploys to the next environment in the lifecycle.
- Integrations between CA API Management,
CA Service Virtualization and CA Application Test enable
development teams to automatically create the virtual services and
API tests needed to support the rapid development of composite
applications and microservices.
“With CA’s continuous delivery solutions we’re standardizing our
application products, achieving consistency between server
environment platforms and are able to easily integrate CA Release
Automation with other continuous integration applications such as
Jenkins,” said Matt McComas, AVP Critical Applications, GM
Financial. “As a result, we are quickly identifying and resolving
inconsistencies in our application environments and have been able
to cut deployment times down to two and a half minutes for a 98%
reduction in deployment time.”
Furthermore, to help organizations leverage existing
investments, CA’s continuous delivery solutions integrate easily
with market tools such as HP Application Lifecycle Management
(ALM), Atlassian’s JIRA Software, Jenkins, Docker, Perfecto, Chef
and Puppet for an open and fully integrated continuous delivery
solution stack.
“By using different CA tools as part of the software development
lifecycle, testing is no longer a gatekeeper, but rather an
operational quality door opener that helps simplify the development
of new releases,” said, Arnold Hoogerwerf, IT strategy advisor at
KPN, a leading telecommunications company in the Netherlands. “The
tools we use from CA’s set of continuous delivery solutions have
allowed us to reduce our investment and increase our agility in
testing and helped us discover defects earlier so we can
continually improve the quality of our applications in a shorter
timeframe.”
Release automation goes hand-in-hand with DevOps practices and
Cloud technologies to ensure that organizations can deliver apps
that provide the very best customer experiences and drive
competitive advantage in today’s app-driven, cloud-connected,
mobile-everything world. The open and flexible architecture of CA’s
continuous delivery solutions can help organizations deploy
applications to modern Cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services,
Microsoft Azure and Skytap as a standard part of their app delivery
practices.
