March 5, 2019 · 1 min read

In this blog, I will cover how the Figaf DevOps Suite improves the way you work with transporting.

Before we get started, we need to find a clear definition of what “DevOps” is. According to Wikipedia it goes like this:

“DevOps is a set of software development practices that aim to shorten the systems development life cycle while delivering features, fixes and updates frequently in close alignment with business objectives”

Understand what is changed

Track what object is being changed, Is it a part of the BPMN model, Is it scripts or mappings, Is it configuration which is changed

Register changes with business reason

Make a service request in the Figaf DevOps Suite that allows you to link the changes to the reason.

Users can assign changes in iFlows to it.

Test the changes

With the built-in testing tool you can test that the modifications you make do not affect anything unexpected.

You can document what test you have run and the result of them.

iFlow configuration in the landscape

Configure an iFlow once and then let Figaf handle configuration in the landscape when importing the change.

Transport individual changes

Be able to import changes into target system. Figaf will import the object into the target system. Then the configuration will be applied.
