by Coforge
Description
Below are the challenges where this utility might help :
With the traditional deployment approach, the turnaround time required between various environments is more. Ex: after QA sign-off a deployment needs to be scheduled for UAT Due to lengthy regression test cycles regimented Quarterly release cycles are available, which leads to significant waiting time. Even for minor changes or additions. Monitoring/Maintaining multiple environments with up-to-date code . Difficulty in establishing coordination between Development, Testing, and operations teams. Ex: missed to update status in Jira but code is deployed and available for testing Resource availability/dependency at a particular phase of the project lifecycle. Ex. Operations team services are immediately required after QA signoff
Features

Developers and Testers work simultaneously, and Jira acts as source of truth for them Testers write Cucumber scripts, tags it with Jira ticket number and push the code to GitHub Developer provides solution to the problem in Appian and pushes the code to Test environment using Appian's 'Compare and Deploy' feature Jenkins takes over after this point. Connects all systems, Triggers next activity in workflow, monitors the outcome, and updates result in Jira
