Build-test automation |
Executing automated build and test processes, resulting in reduced costs, increase quality, reliability and traceability, and accelerated time to market. Build-test automation is a key enabler of continuous integration (CI). |
|
Deployment automation |
Executing automated application or microservice deployment processes, resulting in reduced costs, increase quality, reliability and traceability, and accelerated time to market. Deployment automation is a key enabler of Application Release Automation (ARA) and continuous delivery (CD). |
|
Pipelines |
Executing automated end-to-end software development and delivery processes, resulting in reduced costs, increase quality, reliability and traceability, and accelerated time to market. Pipeline management is a key enabler of Application Release Automation (ARA) and Continuous Delivery (CD). |
|
Release planning and management |
The Release feature captures, executes, visualizes, and controls the life cycle of multi-application or multi-microservice enterprise releases, where outputs from multiple teams are coordinated to produce a final release to be pushed to production. Releases allow you to execute and manage automated software release processes (including end-to-end software development and delivery processes), enabling Application Release Automation (ARA) and Continuous Delivery (CD). You can use the Release feature to deliver software releases through traditional methods and/or ARA and CD methodology. CloudBees Flow manages all the releases, regardless of the release methodologies used by the release team. |
|
Automation platform |
Where you create, configure, and manage the objects that make the build-test, deployment, and pipeline management possible. |
