Boston, MA (USA), July 24, 2014 -- To provide better insight into the Continuous
Delivery process for DevOps managers and end users, XebiaLabs
( http://www.xebialabs.com ) today announced new features and enhancements to its
XL Deploy and XL Release products. Included are updates to its dashboards and
reporting functions designed to improve feedback on the entire software build and
release process. XebiaLabs provides software delivery automation solutions to agile
teams looking to speed time-to-market with their software production cycles.
XL Deploy and XL Release respectively provide plug-and-play application release
automation, and enterprise release pipeline orchestration for DevOps and Continuous
Delivery. Both are components of XL Platform, which also comprises XL Test for Agile
test management and analysis, and XL Scale for on-demand provisioning and scaling of
full environments.
What’s New in XL Release
Configurable Value Stream Analysis:
XL Release dashboards have been expanded to include a new, configurable Value
Stream Analysis that automatically highlights areas of your pipelines and release
processes that are prime candidates for improvement.
“One stop shop” view of release and Continuous Delivery pipeline performance:
XL Release also adds a new dashboard that provides a “one stop shop” view of current
release and pipeline performance, risk and efficiency.
Webhooks and more automation plugins:
Several additional automation plugins including ServiceNow and Splunk, have also been
added to XL Release. XL Release also now features new smart webhook support to
quickly automate any target system with an HTTP or REST API.
What’s New in XL Deploy
Easy configuration and integration with Cool Tech:
Already designed to make it easy to add support for new middleware tools, the XL
Deploy plugin API has gained additional extensibility by including a new, fully
backwards-compatible, rule DSL on top of the existing plugin API. This makes it even
easier to configure XL Deploy for your existing environment and extend it to support the

2. latest and greatest “cool tech”in a couple of lines of XML, without coding.
Customizable views & dashboards:
XL Deploy also includes a preview version of the new UI extension framework, which will
allow users to seamlessly integrate their own views and dashboards into the user
interface.
Tackle Configuration Drift:
To solve common configuration drift problems in several types of middleware
environments, XL Deploy now provides an additional set of advanced reports.
The reports feature smart container matching and attribute filtering designed to
highlight what is important, avoiding the time spent running through thousands of
irrelevant default properties.
The new feature can compare target environments directly andalso tracks discrepancies
between XL Deploy’s repository and the live environment. As an added bonus, the
report interface introduces the first HTML5 UI components to XL Deploy, based on the
new UI extension framework.
XL Deploy already supports comprehensive, extensible discovery for WebSphere and
other middleware, as well as comparison and versioning of all configuration items in its
repository making it now the most advanced solution for configuration drift on the
market.
