 Digital.ai
Ascension empowers both private and public sector organizations to
unify, secure and generate predictive insights across the software
lifecycle, increasing business value with integrated software delivery,
and driving down technical debt through enterprise connections.
The Ascension release further enables technology leaders to scale their
distributed workforce and connect agile development at the portfolio,
team and individual levels. The new features help ensure their business
strategy is aligned to team-level execution while gaining increased
visibility of the entire toolchain. Digital.ai is trusted by more than
1,500 organizations worldwide and across industries, including over 50%
of the Fortune 500, to meet the challenges and opportunities of digital
transformation.
“The last decade’s worth of well-funded, VC-backed software vendors has
forever fragmented the way software is developed and delivered,” said
Stephen Elop, chief executive officer at Digital.ai. “Technology leaders
today need a platform that offers the connective tissue to plan, measure
and accelerate business value from software investments, while reducing
costs, maintaining security, and managing compliance. With our latest
release, Digital.ai’s platform solves problems organizations encounter
by delivering connected tools that offer a wealth of insight across the
full development and delivery lifecycle.”
Technology leaders are under extreme pressure to innovate faster but
face many challenges in doing so. Developers spend roughly one-third of
their time on low-level tasks that could be automated so they can focus
on more strategic work. However, enabling automation at scale is
hindered by technical debt, and security and quality assurance teams are
struggling to secure and support an ever-growing range of mobile devices
and operating systems. This situation is fueling the global demand for
new software delivery platforms like Digital.ai’s AI-Powered DevOps
Platform. In fact, Gartner says “By 2024, 60% of organizations will have
switched from multiple point solutions to value stream delivery
platforms to streamline application delivery, up from 20% in 2021.”
Solving
Software Delivery Challenges in the Digital Transformation Era
The AI-Powered DevOps Platform
provides innovative solutions that support the software development and
delivery lifecycle, enabling technology teams to use individual
solutions or the entire platform. Digital.ai solutions can be easily
integrated into existing processes, applications, and infrastructure to
propel innovation and bring greater visibility and insight across the
entire software architecture and ecosystem.
Key new enhancements include:
Integrated DevOps Platform
- Embedded Mobile Application
Security - Mobile app owners and developers can rapidly build and
secure engaging mobile apps for iOS, Android, and other mobile
operating systems with a single solution, offering organizations the
assurance that all applications are protected from bad actors and
threats.
- Scale and Integrate Application
Testing - Autonomous testing focuses on low-code test automation
with self-learning capabilities that navigate mobile applications
and auto-generate sanity tests. Mobile Studio provides a new user
experience in the cloud for better device interactions while
testing, and Test Editor allows non-technical users to create,
validate and manage test scripts.
Intelligent Software Delivery
- Increased Pipeline Visibility -
Test and Deploy Analytic Lenses complete the 360° view for software
delivery analysis. Test Lens brings pre-built metrics and best
practice dashboards to mitigate software delivery bottlenecks and
understand test volume coverage across devices and browsers. Deploy
Lens provides telemetry and improves deployment efficiency by
providing end-to-end visibility of deployments across apps and
environments.
- Predictive Insights - The
democratization of artificial intelligence (AI) across the
Digital.ai platform continues with this release, including further
enhancements to Change Risk Prediction to provide greater
visibility, and better use of historic data to apply machine
learning and make predictions.
Expanding DevOps Ecosystem
- App Store Experience -
Integrations Marketplace offers customers one location to gain
easier access to Digital.ai’s 100s of integrations for Agility,
Release and Deploy products, as well as official partner and
community plug-ins.
- Cloud-native Connectors - In
addition to supporting traditional environments, as customers shift
workflows to the cloud, release teams can now quickly set up,
continuously deliver and promote code using Argo CD to orchestrate
releases for Kubernetes. Customers using GitOps can leverage their
infrastructure best practices.
- Enhanced End-to-End Integrations
- Agility Sync offers customers a simple way to create their own
integrations and/or extend existing integrations helping to reduce
technical debt.
