DevOps and Testing

Improve your DevOps at every stage of development and delivery.

Go from dysfunctional separation to efficient collaboration.
Eliminate coding and testing bottlenecks.
Streamline continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

The low-code + DevOps advantage.

DevOps and low-code have a common goal: to deliver better software to users, fast. 

They do this by breaking down silos between IT leaders, development, operations, and business experts. 

That’s what the Appian Low-Code Platform delivers—a clear, competitive business advantage by eliminating coding and testing bottlenecks and fostering complete collaboration.  

DevOps support is woven into our low-code fabric.

Better coding

Enable hybrid teams with low-code built on cloud-native architecture.

Accelerate coding for developers.

Enable business experts to contribute to applications.

Develop and automate faster.

Empower business experts with visual tools.

Better testing

Find and fix code defects earlier.

Enable business experts to author, update, and evaluate tests.

Test software functionality beyond validation.

Assess user experience and business value.

Automate testing and delivery for security.

Low-code across the DevOps cycle

Build intelligent apps fast

Empower more people to participate in small teams working simultaneously and collaboratively on software development projects.

Test quickly

Discover issues as soon as possible by testing as you build while also automating a full range of tests.

Deploy easily

Deliver more functionality faster, reduce risk, and accelerate feedback.

Monitor continuously

Continuously check the health and quality of your application and environment as you expand functionality, deploy changes, and improve the user experience.

Gain a competitive edge with low-code for DevOps.
