Working with Loops
A loop is a workflow that connects DevOps activities of your team from planning and development through build, deployment, testing, and release phases.
Capabilities of DevOps Loop
HCL DevOps Loop provides an integrated suite of capabilities such as Plan, Code, Control, Build, Test, Release, Deploy and Measure to manage every stage of the software development lifecycle within a connected, continuous 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 browser IDE in a dev container 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
  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 offers the capability to build applications, manage continuous integration workflows, and store build artifacts.
  - System requirements
  - Overview of Build
    Build is a continuous integration and build-management system.
  - Tutorials
    This section contains tutorials for users of all experience levels. If you are new to Build, this tutorials introduces the most-used product features in an easy-to-follow way. You do not need additional resources to complete the tutorial.
  - Administering
    Users with the correct permissions can configure security, create users, configure integrations, and create notifications and announcements among other things.
  - Creating and Managing Projects
    Projects run builds, manage dependencies with third-party tools, and can be used for administrative, operational, and system maintenance.
  - Build pipelines
    A build pipeline defines the automated process that transforms source code into deployable artifacts. It specifies the steps required to compile, test, validate, scan, and package the code.
  - Creating Jobs and Processes
    Jobs are the core building blocks of Build. Process definitions assemble jobs into the basic unit of automation. A process definition determines how, when, and where jobs run.
  - Managing Project Templates
    Project templates are reusable plans that map build processes.
  - Monitoring and Reporting
    With the monitoring tools you can review current and historical activity and save your filter conditions for future use. You can create charts and reports from most database tables.
  - Extending Product Functions
    You can create your own plug-ins to extend the product’s capabilities.
    - Plug-ins
      Build plug-ins provide tools for creating workflows and integrating with external tools.
    - Example plug-in
      A plug-in consists of one or more steps. A step represents a unit of functionality that a user can configure and combine with other steps into a process. Creating a plug-in consists of defining its individual steps and then grouping them for presentation in Build.
    - Build Scripting
      The scripting API describes the various types of supported scripts.
    - Properties in Build
      Properties can be set for many different things, including projects, build configurations, process configurations, build requests, and the server. You can also set and retrieve agent properties.
    - REST API reference
      The Build server has a REST interface, which you can use to automate tasks on the server.
      - Running REST commands
        Many different programs can run REST commands. To run the command, you call a method on a REST resource and pass parameters or a request in JSON format.
      - Authenticating for REST commands
        The way that you authenticate to run REST commands depends on how the server is set up and the tool that you are using to run the commands.
      - REST API conventions
        The Build REST API follows a set of conventions to make interacting with it more consistent.

- Test
  The Test capability in DevOps Loop is powered by the DevOps Test application. Test 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 within 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.
