Release management best practices
Agile development supports a customer's need to update their production environment as business needs change. Incorporating agile methodology in application development enables frequent changes and ensures that those changes work as expected.
Pega Platform™ includes best practices for agile development, including:
- Real-time updates: frequent development iterations that are small in scope
- Testing: continuous application validation to identify and address issues early
- Branches: concurrent team development environment to maximize productivity
An agile development approach provides continuous, iterative application development based on small-scope business requirements. When business requirements change, you can make smaller, more frequent updates. For example, you add a chatbot based on feedback or fix a bug in the user interface.
DevOps
DevOps tightens the integration between development teams, test teams, and post-go-live support teams to take the agile process further. DevOps teams work across the application life cycle to provide a more automated build, streamlining how you configure, validate, deploy, and deliver an application.
