Revolutionizing Intelligent Automation: The Power of CI/CD, DevOps, and Deployment Pipelines

Understanding ci/cd and devops

Continuous Integration (CI)

Continuous Integration (CI) plays a crucial role in software development, offering numerous benefits and driving the success of development teams and projects.

CI is vital in software development due to its ability to detect defects early, promote collaboration, maintain quality, accelerate time to value, build confidence, and facilitate seamless integration with CD and DevOps. By adopting CI practices, teams can significantly improve their efficiency, quality, and overall project success.

Tungsten recognizes the importance of Continuous Integration (CI) in working with our platforms and solutions. Tungsten technology empowers its users to leverage CI to ensure the seamless integration of changes and facilitate collaboration across development teams in several ways:

1. Version Control and Code Repositories: The Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform (incl. Tungsten TotalAgility) utilizes robust version control systems and can connect to code repositories, such as Git, to manage code changes effectively.
2. Integration with Low-Code and Professional Designer environments: Tungsten integrates CI into its development tools (like the TotalAgility Apps, TotalAgility Designer, and RPA Design Studio), and infrastructure to streamline the design process. Development teams have access to a wide range of tools, including the mentioned design environments, automation tools, and continuous integration servers. These tools work together to automate the various stages of the CI workflow, from code compilation to testing and deployment.
3. Collaboration and Communication Channels: The Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform promotes collaboration and communication across teams through CI practices. Teams can easily share their reusable assets, track progress, and coordinate efforts through shared development environments and collaboration platforms. This collaborative environment fosters reusability, problem-solving, and efficient collaboration, enabling teams to work together seamlessly.
4. Continuous Deployment and DevOps Integration: The Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform extends the benefits of CI by integrating it with Continuous Deployment (CD) and DevOps practices. Once changes pass the tests, they can be seamlessly deployed to different environments, ensuring that the latest enhancements are readily available to the business. This integration aligns with DevOps principles, promoting cross-functional collaboration, automation, and efficient software delivery.

By leveraging CI in these ways, the Tungsten Automation Intelligent Automation platform ensures that changes are seamlessly integrated, thoroughly tested, and validated throughout the development process. This approach enhances reusability, quality, accelerates time to market, fosters collaboration, and enables Tungsten Automation users to deliver reliable and innovative solutions to their users.

Continuous Deployment (CD)

Continuous Deployment (CD) plays a pivotal role in enabling the rapid and automated delivery of software updates and enhancements. CD streamlines the software release process, reducing manual effort, and accelerating the time it takes to deliver changes to users. CD enables organizations to deliver software updates and enhancements rapidly and with minimal manual intervention. It ensures that validated changes are automatically deployed to various environments, reducing the time to market, and increasing the speed of innovation. CD also improves the overall quality and reliability of software releases by automating testing, reducing human errors, and providing the ability to roll back or roll forward when necessary.

The Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform demonstrates a strong commitment to continuous deployment, enabling our users to achieve quicker innovation cycles, improved customer experiences, and faster time to market. Here are some ways Tungsten Automation exemplifies this commitment:

1. Agile Development Practices: The Tungsten Intelligent Automation empowers agile development methodologies, embracing principles such as reusability, iterative development, continuous feedback, and collaboration.

2. Continuous Integration and Testing: The Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform emphasizes continuous integration and testing as integral parts of building solutions based on our platform. This practice helps identify issues early, reduces the risk of regressions, and maintains a high level of quality.
3. Automated Deployment Pipelines: The Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform fits your automated deployment pipelines to streamline the solution release process. These pipelines automate the steps involved in packaging, deploying, and configuring solutions across various environments. By automating these processes, the Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform reduces the manual effort required for deployments, minimizes human errors, and achieves consistent and reliable releases.
4. DevOps Collaboration: The Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform promotes a culture of collaboration between delivery, operations, and other stakeholders. The DevOps approach ensures smooth coordination and alignment between different teams involved in the delivery process. By fostering collaboration, the Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform accelerates the feedback loop, resolves issues quickly, and optimizes the overall delivery process.
5. Rollback and Roll-forward Capabilities: Tungsten acknowledges the importance of maintaining system stability and minimizing downtime. In case of issues or emergencies, The Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform’s continuous deployment approach incorporates rollback and roll-forward capabilities. These capabilities allow The Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform to swiftly revert to a known working state or apply subsequent validated changes to address issues and enhance the software solution.
6. Customer-Centric Approach: The Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform allows its users to place a strong emphasis on delivering value to their organizations. By embracing continuous deployment practices, they can release new features, enhancements, and fixes more frequently. This approach ensures that their organizations have access to the latest innovations and improvements, resulting in an enhanced customer experience and satisfaction.
7. Faster Time to Market: Tungsten commitment to continuous deployment significantly reduces the time it takes organizations to deliver updates and enhancements on the Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform. By automating the deployment process, minimizing manual handoffs, and leveraging continuous feedback, they can accelerate time to market. This allows them to benefit from the latest advancements, gain a competitive edge, and achieve faster return on investment.

Tungsten commitment to continuous deployment is evident through integrating agile practices, continuous integration, automated deployment pipelines, DevOps collaboration, rollback and roll-forward capabilities, and a customer-centric approach. By prioritizing these principles and practices, the Tungsten Intelligent Automation platform ensures quicker innovation cycles, improved customer experiences, and faster time to market, solidifying their customers as leaders in their industry/p>
