If you are attending Agile2010, make plans to visit with UrbanCode in the exhibit hall, booth 131. You can learn about what is new with AnthillPro, how to improve your agility while maintaining control, and how UrbanCode can help you move from Continuous Integration towards Continuous Deployment.

Throughout the event, UrbanCode staff will be on hand to introduce AnthillPro 3.7.4, debut the new AnthillPro Xtreme Feedback Monitor (XFM), and demonstrate the Deployment Pack.

The new Deployment Pack enables organizations to easily extend their AnthillPro Agile processes to deployments – and allows them to introduce emerging Agile practices, such as Continuous Deployment, while maintaining the necessary control and governance. Integrations with leading server technologies (including WebSphere, Microsoft’s IIS/MSDeploy, Tomcat, WebLogic, and more) make it easy for AnthillPro users to improve their Agile deployments by adding additional automation to the process. The integrations in the Deployment Pack enable AnthilPro users to create repeatable, click-button/fully automated deploy processes by automatically: running commands to start and stop servers and applications; installing new applications; updating applications; as well as automating other administrative functions. The Deployment Pack also provides complete traceability, visibility, and governance for every deployment by tying the artifacts to the source code that was built using AnthillPro: seamlessly bringing deployments under the AnthillPro umbrella. Deploy engineers, developers, and managers can easily know what build was deployed to which environment, who ran the deployment, and what changes were included in the deployment through the AnthillPro UI.

The Xtreme Feedback Monitor (XFM) provides real-time feedback to developers, administrators, managers and executives regarding the state of builds and deployments in the enterprise. It contains at-a-glance information about developer commits, test passing rate, as well as the status of current and recently broken builds and secondary workflows.
