Go™ is a platform for automation of the build, deployment, testing and release process that gives delivery teams fast feedback on the production readiness of their software portfolio. With Go, you can make one-click deployments in a fully automated, planned and predictable manner, eliminating the risk of panic-and-rollback. No more un-deployable shelfware that incurs opportunity costs. You get real-time visibility and control of the delivery process. With a focus on shortening the feedback cycle, accelerating automation, and collaborating over releases, Go lowers the risk and effort associated with delivering complex applications.
Product Features
Failed test history identifies which of your tests are failing, when the failure happened, and pinpoints which check-in and user caused it. Pipeline dependency visualization gives you a graphical bird’s eye view your entire process workflow from check-in to deployment. Perform 1-click deployments to your environments right from this dependency graph. Change notification via RSS and Email: Mingle keeps you in sync with project changes with Email and RSS notifications. Stay updated on the status of a card, a customized card wall view, or even the whole project, by way of RSS feeds and email in Mingle. For instance a Tester on your team can be alerted whenever a particular story card is "Development Complete."
Scalable, fault-tolerant, auto-upgrading build, test and deployment grid gives you a centrally managed, multi-functional cloud. Role based security allows for separation of duties and lets multiple teams share a common build and test infrastructure.
Workflow templates (pipeline templates) let you model a process workflow and easily reuse it across multiple projects and deployment scenarios. This reduces duplication and ensures all your deployments are identical and production like.
Benefits to the User
Deployment Pipelines: Model your deployment from check-in to release
Go™ provides a powerful and unique release workflow management system - deployment pipelines - that provides visibility into the status of each change, and control over the flow of changes as they move from build to testing to release. Scale pipelines easily with re-usable workflow templates to manage large numbers of projects.
Highlights:
- Model and control your entire workflow from commit to testing through to release.
- Self-service software deployments at the push of a button.
- Manage and standardize large numbers of projects easily with re-usable workflow templates ENTERPRISE
- Automatically trigger deployments based on a schedule or completion of a prior stage.
- See each change to your application, and which stages of your pipeline it has passed.
- Reduce cycle time, increase collaboration and streamline deployment management through fast feedback.
Environment management: Push-button deployments of any version of your application (Enterprise Edition)
Go enables you to easily model your organization's environments and perform one-click deployments of any version of your software to them. You can define your organization's environments, choose which parts of your workflow can use the environments, and which agents can be used to remote control them.
Highlights:
- Comprehensively model your organization's environments by partitioning your build grid into groups of agents.
- Drastically reduce deployment effort by deploying any version of your application at the push of a button.
- See exactly which version of your application is in each of your environments, and which revision in source control it came from.
- Control which pipelines can use each environment.
- Specify environment variable values when deploying.
Test Intelligence: Faster distributed testing
Go provides the most powerful test parallelization and reporting functionality in the industry. Go enables you to speed up tests by running them in parallel on the grid. Go’s unique test intelligence also tells you exactly which tests broke, which check-in broke them, and who was responsible.
Highlights:
- Reduce testing time by an order of magnitude: divide your tests up into suites and Go will run them in parallel on the grid.
- Go's industry-leading test failure reporting aggregates all the failures across the grid into a single report to tell you exactly what failed.
- Go tells you exactly which check-in broke which tests, and who was responsible for each breakage.
- Go provides comprehensive testing tool support, working out of the box with jUnit, nUnit, Twist, and Ruby's test/unit.
Secure and Auditable deployments
Go’s powerful built-in security provides complete auditability of every action and traceability from check-in to production. Go integrates security across the entire build, test and release process, thus ensuring that deployments are secure and auditable.
Highlights:
- Control access to projects and environments by specifying view and operate permissions for pipeline groups.
- Trace back from every deployment to the exact versions in source control it came from.
- Lock down who is allowed to trigger processes.
- Built-in LDAP and ActiveDirectory Authentication.
- Role-based user management.
- Secure Agent-Server communication via SSL and public key infrastructure.
