Digital.ai released Ascension, its new AI-Powered DevOps Platform.
The new release—dubbed 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, CEO 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.”
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.
