CA Continuous Delivery Director

What is CA Continuous Delivery Director?

CA Continuous Delivery Director, offered in SaaS and on-premises, automates application delivery with a single agile control point.

Dynamic Release Management

CA Continuous Delivery Director provides a real-time workflow for monitoring and managing resources and fixes throughout your pipeline. The result?

• Teams have full visibility into application progress
• Multi-application dependencies are easily managed
• Development efforts consistently map business requirements

This is more than posting planning. It's an end-to-end orchestration and optimization that drives a culture of shared ownership across all your teams and helps deliver high-quality applications faster.

Coordinated release and scheduling planning across multiple applications

Reduce version complexity by seeing multiple releases in a coherent calendar view. You can quickly identify conflicts and maintenance windows and easily adjust schedules as needed.

The Release Tracks feature allows you to coordinate multiple postings in the same production planning, with the ability to monitor these postings within the context of milestones and readiness criteria.

Intelligent Continuous Test Workflow

To provide applications continuously, you cannot wait weeks to complete the test. THE CA Continuous Delivery Director allows continuous orchestration of tests, where quality is everyone's responsibility. Integrates the chain of test tools into an automated and more efficient workflow, from planning to production.

You will gain the benefits of:

• High visibility to test execution with status in all phases
• Accelerated development fixes with faster feedback
• Release risk assessment based on real-time test results

Together, it creates a rigorous and parallel testing regime that dramatically improves application quality.

Configurable dashboard, Actionable Analytics

Thanks to a centralized and configurable dashboard, you can view statistics on launch productivity and identify bottlenecks, and monitor the evolution of your teams. You can also create powerful content and pipeline reports to share.

It's end-to-end transparency across your pipeline, allowing you to drive collaborative DevOps resolution and continuously improve its quality and performance.

Full visibility of user stories in the pipeline

CA Director of Continuous Distribution integrates with Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools such as Rally Software (formerly CA Agile Central) and Jira, giving you the ability to link and track application stories for releases.

Use this data-based foundation to collaborate closely with development teams. And improve your application planning and prioritization with full visibility into what features and fixes are being delivered when, what other versions are being released, and the specific content of each release.
