5. The Market Demands Us. . .
This means building, testing, and
releasing quality software faster and
more frequently.
. . . to satisfy the customer through early
and continuous delivery of valuable
software.
First of the Twelve Principles
behind the Agile Manifesto

6. Delays in software processes
Poor software quality
Lack of end to end visibility
Low team productivity & collaboration
Poor resource utilization
Software Delivery Challenges

Next-Gen Agile ALM Accelerates Cycle Time
• Agile = frequent, smaller deliveries
• Continuous Integration = build/test every check-in
• Continuous Deployment = deploy every build passing tests
• Continuous Delivery = release into production
• GOAL: Faster TTM, Higher Quality, Rapid Feedback

21. Delivery pipeline orchestration
Release/CD process workflow
Capture deploy process and
requirements
Consistent and repeatable
Powerful transition definition
Define exact conditions for
when transitions between
states should occur.
Workflow approval gates
Stop process and wait for
approval before transitioning
to next stage

22. Build Automation/CI
Flexible Build Processes
integrated to SCM, build, unit test systems
Comprehensive Visibility
CI Dashboard and reporting

23. Run Build Tasks in Parallel
Fine grain process parallelization
Model parallel execution easily
Execute, track and manage parallel jobs
Manage resources to run parallel jobs

24. Test Automation
Test workflow
Deploy to test environment
Run tests
Aggregate test results
Update test status
Auto Run Tests in Parallel
With a simple click in process definition
Auto manage differing required resources
Act on consolidated results data
Test Dashboard

25. Artifact Repository
Ensure the right artifact is used each time a process is run, at every
stage of the lifecycle

Repository
• Gain predictability and traceability
• Track dependencies and artifact
lifecycle
• Improve cross-team collaboration
• Reduce build time and storage
costs

• Multiple platforms from same
virtualized environment
• Highly efficient use of
virtualization
• Tangible ROI
• Over $900K productivity gain
for developers
• Optimized infrastructure usage:
• Dev team 100 –> 250
• Zero infrastructure growth

• Broken builds from weeks to months
• Manual tests took weeks
Electric Cloud Value
• Automated & centralized CI process
• Build times: 11 hours è20 mins
• Build frequency: 5x a day
• Identify issues in minutes, saving
20 overnight build failures
• 5500+ Automated tests in 6 months
• Developer productivity improvements
• 3200% improvement
