Here is a detailed version update for you!
Newly released services
1. Knowledge management
Knowledge management service is a lightweight powerful Wiki platform, allowing users to customize Wiki according to their specific needs, providing enterprises and IT teams with a convenient project collaboration platform and a powerful project content management platform, centralized management of product-related content, management of related content, etc. Examples include requirements gathering, architectural design, functional design, development specifications, naming conventions, meeting minutes, scheduling, etc.
Main features:
- Knowledge depositing – Depositing knowledge documents of requirements, designs, specifications, etc. from the software development process.
- Project synergy – Effectively manage project scheduling, meeting minutes, and enhance collaboration among project members.
- Product documentation – Easy to write software product concepts, user manuals, quick start and other product documentation.
- Training materials – easy to write software functions and use training materials, even video tutorials.
2. Test management
Test management main continuous testing tools, to provide users with the agility of functions include management of test case, test cycle, test and analysis, etc., can effectively improve the efficiency of software testing and quality, improve the flexibility and visualization of the test, and eventually reduce the test time, let the user will main focus on software function building.
Main features:
- Agile – Test management is integrated with Agile management to provide users with a seamless Agile experience.
- Automation – Integration with mainstream test automation frameworks to significantly improve test automation coverage.
- DevOps – Improves end-to-end testing visualization throughout the DevOps process, improving the quality of software delivery and resource utilization.
- Test analysis – Maximize automation, optimize test case realization, and defect trend prediction to improve software delivery quality.
New features
Agile management
Agile Management Services has introduced new features to facilitate version and issue management. The main new features are as follows:
- Version report function: detailed display team in the complete version by version report progress, and report according to the estimated time remaining, stories, problem count screening, can also according to your team since version since the average progress (speed), and the estimated work remaining shows you predict the release date.
- Cumulative Flowchart capability: Cumulative flowchart is an area diagram that shows the status of various work items for the application, version, and sprint. The horizontal X axis represents time, and the vertical Y axis represents problem counts. Each colored area of the chart is equivalent to a change in the issue column on the panel. The cumulative flowchart can be used to identify bottlenecks, and if your chart contains areas that widen vertically over time, columns that equal widened areas will often become bottlenecks.
In addition, agile management services also added the problem export Excel function, problem conversion to subtasks, problem replication, and release interface to view the release log and other functions.
2. Continuous delivery
- Enhanced branch management functions, support more branch management models, 0.8 version of the branch management function is more flexible than the original, for example, support gitlab-flow and Github-Flow models, achieve branch and agile management problem association, agile problem management and continuous delivery code management consistency, And branch management integration push, Merge Request Webhooks.
- Add phase execution related event logs to the instance deployment phase logs. Before the logs in the output phase of the Job Pod, the detailed process of the Job startup is added. For example, when the Job starts, nodes are allocated, mirrors are pulled, and executed. In this way, you can check execution logs of each phase during instance deployment and quickly locate faults.
- Application Management added sonarqube code quality check link jump to make it easy for users to view the results of code quality checks.
In addition, continuous delivery service also adds functions such as smooth upgrade between versions through request API during version upgrade, obtaining the latest version of all applications by default when exporting, and saving new parameters in file information.
3. Microservices development framework
The microservices development framework adds the following features:
- Added micro-service function, you can view all micro-services in the platform.
- Added API tests to view controller and Controlller apis under microservices.
- Added organization and project information in the Personal Center to view roles assigned to different organizations or projects and the permissions of those roles.
- Scope and automatic authorization domain fields have been added to the client.
