The XebiaLabs DevOps Platform version 9.0 was released with a Release Audit Report that covers all release activities from end to end — at the push of a button.

As an end-to-end DevOps Toolchain Orchestration and Reporting platform, XebiaLabs captures data across all tools, provides the context of what’s going on, presents a complete picture of exactly what happened in each software release — and delivers it to users at the push of a button.

The XebiaLabs DevOps Platform version 9.0 introduces an audit report that covers all release activities in an enterprise’s software delivery pipeline with one click. The XebiaLabs push-button Release Audit Report allows teams to quickly filter reports by date, folder, keywords, and more, and export information for one or many releases.

“It's become mandatory for organizations in regulated industries to be able to prove that their software delivery processes comply with IT governance requirements,“ said XebiaLabs CEO, Derek Langone. “Until now, collecting and analyzing that proof and providing it in a format auditors can use has been almost impossible. XebiaLabs automates the process, giving teams the audit evidence they need instantly.”

XebiaLabs’ comprehensive Software Chain of Custody capabilities give organizations 100% visibility into their complete software delivery lifecycle, so they can easily understand what happened with every person, tool, and process — and prove it. XebiaLabs can collect all of the data needed to enable end-to-end reporting. The platform integrates with hundreds of DevOps tools and is optimized to collect data from across the entire software supply chain. With XebiaLabs, IT teams can:

- Visualize and monitor the software chain of custody, in real time or in retrospect

- Verify that security and compliance checks were run for each release, making IT audits faster and easier for everyone involved

- Drill down into the chain of custody for any release and any task to understand and prove exactly what happened

- Understand security and compliance risks early, so they can find and fix application vulnerabilities and IT governance violations during development

- Easily identify bottlenecks, slow processes, pain points, and areas that need improvement or increased automation

The Release Audit Report expands on a suite of powerful out-of-the-box reports that allow teams to analyze processes, so they can ensure compliance, mitigate risk, and monitor metrics.

In addition to the Release Audit Report, version 9.0 of the XebiaLabs DevOps Platform is packed with new features and integrations, including the Compuware Topaz for Total Test integration, which helps teams shift testing left by incorporating unit, integration, and regression testing into the end-to-end software delivery pipeline for mainframe applications.

“It's vitally important for organizations to orchestrate a cross-platform DevOps pipeline in order to get the most value from the existing DevOps tools in their pipeline,” said Compuware CEO, Chris O’Malley. “With the new integration of XebiaLabs and Compuware Topaz for Total Test, customers can build continuous testing into their Continuous Delivery process for every mainframe application, improving software delivery quality, velocity, and efficiency. This integration is also essential for regulated industries facing audit requirements within their application testing processes.”

The XebiaLabs DevOps Platform v9.0 is available now.
