Welcome
Capabilities of DevOps Loop
HCL DevOps Loop provides an integrated suite of capabilities such as Plan, Code, Control, Build, Test, Release, Deploy, Measure and Harbor (if enabled) to manage every stage of the software development lifecycle within a connected, continuous loop.
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.
Managing Value Streams
A value stream represents the objects and activities that you employ to deliver customer value, from initial concept to final delivered project.
Solution versions
Enabling the solution version feature on Measure
When you want to use the solution version on Measure, you must enable it.

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, Measure and Harbor (if enabled) 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.
- 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.
  - Introduction to releases and pipelines
    A release represents the delivery of multiple applications through one or more phases of a life cycle. A typical release includes many deployments to test environments and a small number of highly orchestrated deployments to staging and production. Release managers can define milestones that lead up to the release, as well as a plan to deliver participating applications to each phase of the life cycle.

  - Managing Value Streams
    A value stream represents the objects and activities that you employ to deliver customer value, from initial concept to final delivered project.
    - Creating value streams
      Create a value stream and then customize it by defining phases and stages that reflect your typical workflow.
    - Viewing value streams
      Viewing value streams using list and card view layouts.
    - Value stream metrics
      Assess project quality, progress, and performance with the Measure metric data tools.
    - Navigating value streams
      Manage a value stream's displayed data by applying filters and queries.
    - DevOps query language
      Use the DevOps query language to filter the information displayed in your value stream.
    - External YAML configuration
      You can create a minimal value realization of different DevOps tools into Measure quickly using external YAML configuration file.
    - Pipelines
      Pipelines provide a streamlined method to manage the applications in your development lifecycle. With pipelines, you can auto-generate deployment plans and deploy applications versions to all environments.
    - Solution versions
      - Enabling the solution version feature on Measure
        When you want to use the solution version on Measure, you must enable it.
      - Adding an application to the pipeline
        You can add an application to the pipeline in Measure.
      - Creating the solution version
        You can create a solution version in the pipeline stage with combination of application versions.
      - Editing the draft solution version
        You can edit the draft solution version to update name, description, and application version combinations.
      - Publishing the draft solution version
        You can publish the draft solution version in the pipeline stage to lock the application versions.
      - Deploying the solution version
        You can deploy the solution versions in the environments.
      - Unlinking the solution version
        You can unlink the solution version from the pipeline stage.
      - Deleting the solution version
        You can delete the solution version permanently from the pipeline stage when it is not required.
  - Developing Data Insights
    The Insights feature provides DevOps metrics for your project data.
  - Releasing Software
