Using APM to Turbocharge Continuous Integration

June 28th, 2:00p EDT

Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery have dramatically accelerated the rate of innovation within both large and small organizations – allowing teams to build and deploy software faster than ever before.

Yet, as release automation accelerates the volume, variety and velocity of application changes, an entirely new set of challenges have appeared. Let’s state the obvious here – DevOps, empowered by continuous integration and delivery, doesn’t merely end at deployment. In fact, the fun is just getting started.

Part of the mission for today’s IT monitoring teams relates to tracking build numbers, status, success, failure and the rest. Yet, if 80% of application performance problems can be tied to some environmental change, clearly, there’s more to the story.

In this webinar we’ll discuss these issues and more, along with some of the relevant capabilities supported via the integration of CA Technologies Application Performance Management and the CloudBees Jenkins automation platform. Join us to hear first-hand how tying together APM and release automation can help identify and remediate changes that impact applications performance, turbocharging the software pipeline.
