Rocket DevOps

DevOps for Multi-Code Development with IBM® i

Modernise IBM® i environments, improve operational efficiency, and maintain compliance with industry standards.

Centralise, Standardise, and Automate IBM® i Development

In today’s fast-paced digital world, IBM® i development cannot afford to exist in isolated silos. These silos hinder innovation, complicate project management, and limit code visibility for developers. With Rocket® DevOps, a comprehensive application lifecycle management solution, organisations can efficiently manage multi-code development while retaining their organisational structure and flexibility to rapidly develop applications. Whether your applications reside on IBM® i or other platforms, Rocket® DevOps adapts seamlessly to your needs.

Features

Multi-Code Development for IBM i+ Owners

Rocket® DevOps offers a unified view, monitoring activities across all DevOps tools. It enables the management of all code within one DevOps environment, thanks to its multi-language development capabilities. This reduces manual tasks in IBM® i development and deployment, while also streamlining SDLC management. Additionally, compliance reporting is easily generated with a click of a button. With Rocket® DevOps, organisations can implement agile best practices on IBM® i, including shifting testing left, building CI/CD (continuous integration/continuous delivery) pipelines, and leveraging third-party tools like Git for RPG development. This enables seamless collaboration among developers and IT teams, fostering the creation of modern, innovative applications throughout the SDLC while ensuring effective DevOps automation and control.

Consolidate Your DevOps Environment

Rocket® DevOps is compatible with a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, UNIX, and modern programming languages like Angular and HTML5. It’s the ideal choice for organisations aiming to implement DevOps practices across multiple operating systems, or those looking to standardise software development and delivery processes across diverse environments. The platform provides visibility into a central secure repository, allowing users to browse applications and view their contents. Customisable displays show the components of each software development lifecycle environment and indicate who is working on them, offering complete transparency.

Shift Testing Left in IBM i Development

Rocket® DevOps enables continuous and automated testing, allowing you to catch bugs early in the development process and streamline lifecycle management. Stakeholders can implement testing standards that accelerate coding and reduce testing complexity across multiple environments. This results in faster product time-to-market and a smoother development process. Provision multiple test environments for unit testing, integration testing, and regression testing. The ability to standardise testing workflows across different teams ensures greater predictability, stable production phases, and fewer errors. Automated testing frees up your team to focus on higher-value tasks.

Drive Object-Oriented Development with DevOps

Rocket® DevOps simplifies object-oriented development by providing a list of objects tied to an IBM® i application release. This list displays all objects from multiple libraries, saving time and eliminating the need to access each library individually. Additionally, it shows comprehensive status information for each object, helping developers monitor progress and streamline the development process.
