DevOps board

The DevOps board, developed by DevpromSoftware, is a software tool designed to automate and streamline the management of DevOps activities. It serves as a centralized platform for small to large-sized companies, enabling teams in software development, IT operations, project management, quality assurance, and customer support to collaborate effectively. According to the vendor, the DevOps board aims to enhance productivity, ensure software quality, and deliver exceptional customer support.

Key Features

Automatic management of DevOps activities: The DevOps board automates the management of various DevOps activities, including development, testing, monitoring, and customer support. It enables teams to implement new features and resolve issues quickly, while also supporting manual testing for improved test coverage and quality. Additionally, it facilitates software and middleware monitoring to reduce churn rate and enhance service quality.

Plug in your favorite monitoring tool into DevOps board: The DevOps board allows easy integration of favorite monitoring tools by setting up webhooks or configuring email notifications. It enables the establishment of alerts and notifications for monitoring purposes, providing a seamless experience for teams. Detailed documentation is provided to guide users through the process of integrating monitoring tools.

Automate management via Software Kanban: The DevOps board utilizes Software Kanban to automate management processes. Team members can pull cards in work based on availability and competence, ensuring tasks are implemented as soon as possible. Work in progress limits help identify bottlenecks in the product construction pipeline, potentially improving overall productivity. Kanban metrics, such as Average Lead Time, can be analyzed to further enhance efficiency.

Resolve software errors proactively: By integrating error and exception handlers into the application stack, the DevOps board aims to facilitate the proactive identification and resolution of software errors. This approach reduces reliance on user feedback and provides a clear overview of environments and builds producing issues. The platform supports integration with various programming languages, potentially ensuring efficient handling of errors and exceptions.

Automate everyday activities: The DevOps board aims to enhance productivity by automating routine tasks based on predefined actions. Users can define custom actions to set higher priority or assign tasks to team members, potentially streamlining workflows. According to the vendor, this feature allows teams to focus on the most important issues while minimizing distractions from minor tasks.

Let quality level be clear to everyone: The DevOps board publishes test reports generated by popular testing frameworks, providing a clear understanding of the quality level of each tested build. It covers complex and stochastic test scenarios through manual testing, offering a comprehensive view of build quality. This transparency aims to facilitate informed decision-making regarding go/no-go decisions.

Make your delivery pipeline really continuous: The DevOps board seamlessly integrates with favorite continuous integration and continuous deployment tools. It visualizes build status and automatically reports tasks to repair broken builds, aiming to ensure a continuous delivery pipeline. Detailed documentation is available to guide users through the integration process.

Listen and support customers: The DevOps board enables efficient customer support by capturing tickets sent via email or submitted through the helpdesk website. It notifies customers via email when their tickets are resolved, ensuring timely communication. The built-in knowledge base (Wiki) feature allows team members to collect and write articles, making information easily searchable and accessible to users.

Everything is code so everyone is aware of changes: By connecting repositories like GitHub, GitLab, Subversion, or TFS, the DevOps board aims to ensure control over source code changes. It enables the review of changes in code, infrastructure, test scenarios, and scripts, potentially facilitating consistent changes and early identification of issues. According to the vendor, this integrated approach consolidates multiple tools into one focused DevOps application.
