You can find the known issues that are identified in this version of HCL DevOps Loop.

HCL DevOps Loop is a unified platform that brings every stage of the software development lifecycle into a continuous feedback loop. It connects teams, processes, and applications across planning, coding, testing, releasing, deploying, and measuring to deliver software faster, with greater visibility and governance.

You can find an overview of the HCL DevOps Loop user interface.

Accessibility features help users who have physical disabilities, such as visual and hearing impairment, or limited mobility, to use the software products successfully.

To get started working with HCL DevOps Loop, you must first install DevOps Loop.

After you install HCL DevOps Loop, you must consider how the platform manages licenses, users, and authentication.

You must back up HCL DevOps Loop data before you uninstall the current version of DevOps Loop. You must back up the data to avoid data loss or inaccessibility.

A private Certificate Authority (CA) is an organization-specific service that issues and manages digital certificates for use within an enterprise’s private network. These certificates secure communication between internal applications and services.

After you complete certain backup and pre-upgrade steps, you can upgrade DevOps Loop to a newer version using Helm.

You can integrate AI providers such as OpenAI, Ollama and IBM watsonx.ai with DevOps Loop. AI integration with the platform unlocks advanced data analysis capabilities, providing deeper insights into project details. After the integration is complete, you can query the system to assess project resources, track progress, and gain an understanding of the project status for better decision-making and optimizied workflows.

A teamspace in HCL DevOps Loop is a secure, dedicated environment designed for multiple teams to work independently within a single shared DevOps Loop installation.

You can safely uninstall DevOps Loop from your environment, ensuring that all resources and data are properly removed.

The loop consists of several interconnected phases that ensure continuous software development, testing, deployment, and monitoring.

Learning loop provides preloaded sample datasets across multiple DevOps Loop capabilities. It helps you learn and practice workflows by exploring sample projects, work items, and configurations without starting from an empty setup.

The dashboard consolidates data from all capabilities, such as Plan, Code, Control, Build, Test, Release, and Deploy, by offering a centralized view of the status. Dashboards are available with both summary and detailed perspectives, and they filter information specific to each loop.

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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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.

You can use Loop Genie, an AI assistant, to retrieve information or perform tasks across multiple capabilities and loops within DevOps Loop. The results or actions are displayed directly in the chat interface.

You can use the following prompts to interact with Loop Genie, which will respond and perform the specified actions on your DevOps Loop platform.
