I believe this topic has been discussed previously, but I have not been able to find anything searching the Community. We are in the process of evaluating our Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) processes and supporting tools. Our current tool set includes ServiceNow (ticket mgmt), Subversion (SVN) with TortoiseSVN, Jenkins, ANT scripts, Excel (to tie everything together) and grunt work. Some of our challenges: 1. ServiceNow does not having a link to Subversion. At least we have not found anything and it apparently would be expensive to do it. We, therefore, spend a significant amount of time reconciling artifacts in SVN with the corresponding tickets in SNow. 2. Schema management. We do have the full .df in SVN, but we don't version incrementals and their application is entirely manual across all shared environments (dev, QA, UAT, Production) and local developers' environments. 3. Too much developer involvement in releases and deployments. While it may be impossible to eliminate this entirely, it should, IMO, be the exception not the rule. 4. Configuration. We have several ini style properties files mostly used for those things that are environment specific. They are also released/deployed outside our normal process. 5. Manual reconciliation/coordination Being in the the Progress world, we, of course, are evaluating Roundtable TSMS, but also want to consider other options before we make a decision. Is anyone using MS Azure DevOps (or one if its previous incarnations)? How about the Mylyn Eclipse plugin? Anything you could share about your processes and/or tool sets would be much appreciated. Feel free to contact me offline if you prefer. TIA Cheers!
