How Appian Supports Agency DevOps

INTEGRATING LOW-CODE INTO COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT

ENVIRONMENTS

Time to value is critical when agencies are evaluating the merits of enterprise IT programs. Increasingly, agencies are turning towards DevOps as a way to accelerate development and bring capabilities to their end users quicker.

In traditional thinking, COTS software does not fit well into a DevOps model. That thinking has been turned on its head with the rise of low-code application development platforms.

The Appian low-code application development platform supports the seven

major DevOps categories.

Requirements, release numbers, and other documentation can be stored within the COTS package or in an Agile project management.

Data elements, business, rules, forms, and other interfaces are version controlled from within the COTS package.

All components built into the platform are available for immediate use or testing by authorized users.

Developers building forms, work alongside business analyst developing and testing rules.

These activities are synchronized by built-in tools within the software.

Appian includes automated performance testing tools.

These tools integrate with industry standards such as JMeter and FitNesse.

Appian automatically groups application artifacts within its development environment.

These artifacts live within the COTS environment but can be packaged for export to an external artifact repository.

Components can either be released as part of an entire application build,

or continuously integrated into the application.

Since it's a native BPM platform, Appian customers can manage release approvals from within

the product.

This removes significant complexity from app deployment, and offers

a reliable and stable base to ensure the application performs to spec.

Appian simplifies infrastructure configuration by offering the

entire platform within the Cloud.

Appian customers can make use of industry standard tools and methods for monitoring application performance.
