  • Capabilities of DevOps Loop

    HCL DevOps Loop provides an integrated suite of applications such as Plan, Code, Control, Build, Test, Release, Deploy and Measure to manage every stage of the software devolopment lifcycle within a connected, continous loop.

    • Plan

      Plan is a change management software application within the DevOps Loop that supports seamless ticket creation, tracking, and comprehensive issue management. With customizable workflow automation, it helps teams to streamline and adapt processes to meet their unique business requirements while preparing work for the next stages of the loop.

    • Code

      Code is a cloud-based IDE that is part of HCL DevOps Loop, allowing developers to write, compile, build, and debug code directly in the browser without requiring local setup.

      • Code overview

        Code is a cloud-based integrated development environment on Code, with which you can write, compile, build, and debug software applications in a so-called dev container, accessible directly from a web browser. The editor provides a completely configured development environment with preinstalled extensions, tools, and libraries. You can start coding without the need to set up the environment on your local machine.

      • User interface

        The Code user interface offers key features that are designed to facilitate navigation, file management, source control, debugging, and extension management within the browser IDE.

      • Accessing Code

        You can access the Code feature to launch your dedicated, standardized development container and work within the integrated code server environment.

      • Switching to your teamspace

        You can switch to your teamspace to access team-specific development containers and their pre-configured settings.

      • Working with dev containers

        You can launch a dev container to load your specific development environment and begin active development tasks.

      • Dev containers

        You can use this information to understand why and when to choose between available dev containers. You should choose the Starter container when you need basic tasks, or a Preconfigured container when your project requires a customized environment (like Node.js or Java) assigned by an administrator.

      • Git authentication for dev containers

        You can use Git authentication to provide version control capabilities when you work in dev container environments. This helps you to manage code changes and collaborate with team members while maintaining isolation from your local machine.

      • Configuring dev containers

        As a teamspace admin in Code, you can configure the dev containers so that they are available to the team members. These configurations follow the Dev Containers specification and are versioned by pushing them to a Control Git repository.

      • Configuration of Git credentials for dev containers

        For information on configuring Git credentials for dev containers, see Managing Git authentication for developers.

      • Extensions

        You can use extensions to specialize the Code IDE, integrating tools for coding, debugging, and version control. You can deploy them during initial project setups or to ensure workflow consistency in containerized and offline environments.

      • Access applications via Automatic port forwarding

        You can access applications running within your dev container from your local machine as Code automatically detects and forwards listening ports (7000–8000), to ensure uninterrupted interaction with containerized services.

      • File management features

        You can manage files between your local computer and dev container, and simplify your development workflow.

    • Control

      Control manages source code within the DevOps Loop using GitHub compatible APIs that integrate with existing developer tools, workflows, and automation. It supports version management, collaboration, and code governance as development progresses.

    • Build

      Build is a build management platform within the DevOps Loop that supports application development, continuous integration, and artifact storage. Its template-driven approach helps teams standardize processes, enforce policies, and integrate testing into their workflows.

    • Test

      Test Hub centralizes test data, environments, test runs, and reports in a single web based interface within the DevOps Loop. It streamlines test management, execution, and tracking, providing greater efficiency and visibility to ensure quality throughout the loop.

    • Release

      Release standardizes and automates the software release lifecycle with the DevOps Loop, moving applications smoothly from preproduction to production. It provides predictable scheduling, integrates changes from planning tools, and gives stakeholders clear visibility into plans and milestones.

    • Deploy

      Deploy standardizes and simplifies the rollout of software components across environments withing the DevOps Loop. Its release automation tools improve deployment speed and reliability, providing visibility into multi-tiered deployments and orchestrating complex processes across environments and approval gates.

    • Measure

      Measure provides end-to-end visibility into the DevOps loop, giving teams to track how value is created throughout the work flow. It consolidates testing, security, and performance metrics to identify bottlenecks, team issues, and opportunities for improvement while strengthening governance across the organization.

  • Loop Genie - Tech Preview

    Loop Genie is an AI-powered, multi-agent chatbot integrated into DevOps Loop. It performs tasks and retrieves information across multiple products and loops through a single conversational interface.
