CA Technologies Upgrades CA LISA Application Release Automation

CA Technologies has introduced a new version of CA LISA Release Automation that can optimise a large number of complex enterprise-class releases across the application lifecycle from development to testing to production.

IT organisations are under enormous pressure to deliver new applications and services to their customers at an increasingly rapid place. The ability to meet ever-changing customer needs and demands have become critical to the success of any business.

According to a Forrester research study, about 80 percent of companies take between several days to three months in order to push a software update into production, even if only one line of code has been upgraded.

Production ideologies of “agile development”, and “DevOps” are a pertinent approach in these circumstances. These methods are crucial in helping to reduce software release times by simplifying and standardising and organisations entire release process, and minimising errors.

Application Release Automation can optimise the entire process and enable quality assurance teams to directly handle the task of releasing software, thus allowing the service delivery teams to provide more strategic services.

CA LISA Release Automation’s key features include:

·The ability to minimise errors and improve software quality by simplifying and standardising release processes;

·Enterprise-class, multi-release solution built for application release operations, enabling continuous releases across the application lifecycle;

·Centralised Release Operations from development to production;

·Automated application rollbacks for faster recovery and service continuity;

·Highly scalable, capable of automating large enterprise application release processes across a complex infrastructure, including thousands of servers, by replicating unique rules quickly;

·Ensuring cloud readiness with built-in virtualisation and cloud support; and

·Designed to handle application software written in any programming language.

Representatives of CA Technologies say that the company firmly believes that IT has a significant role to play in an organisation’s business goals, and this is only possible with speed and agility. The company’s continuous application delivery solution takes release automation to the next level and provides an agile and collaborative delivery chain, helping enterprises innovate and succeed.
