Agile methodologies using low code platforms for iteration, for CI/CD

We are clearly seeing the impact of low-code on development environments and DevOps. Low-code began with small applications, and while DevOps-style teamwork and workflows may not be needed there, as the use of low-code platforms becomes the norm for critical enterprise projects, DevOps will be a necessary element. This is where low-code is having a more obvious impact; Agile methodologies using low code platforms for iteration, for continuous improvement, and for continuous delivery. These applications aren’t one-and-done. They need to be maintained, improved and delivered, again and again.

Agile.Now Deployment Pipelines

Deployment pipelines help enterprise low-code teams build an efficient and reusable process by maintaining development, test, and production environments. Application developers can incrementally transition a new or updated application between environments, reconfiguring them with the appropriate functionality, data connections, and permissions. Agile.Now pipelines are very easy to use and take only few minutes to setup. No previous expertise or coding skills are required.

Communication between the teams

The implementation of the DevOps approach presupposes that developers, QA engineers, and system administrators now work in alignment with each other. The ongoing communication between the DevOps practitioners allows for fewer bugs missed and faster preparation and delivery of new software pieces to production.

Increased test automation

Continuous testing is one of the key components of the DevOps approach. To achieve it, testing is automated with the use of specialized tools, e.g., Selenium, Ghost Inspector, and Tricentis Tosca which are designed to automatically perform various types of tests (such as unit, functional, integration testing) and promptly notify the DevOps practitioners on detected bugs.

You Should Adopt Agile.Now Factory If:

• You have the lack of a good project foundation, preventing scalability in an efficient and secure way.
• Items are untraceable, since the project backlog is detached, not knowing what has changed and by whom.
• No automated testing, as in general testing is done ad-hoc, creating serious quality problems.
• No CI/CD practices or framework.
• Lower productivity and less reliable software. Developers spend more time on infrastructure and configuration and less on delivering business value.
