Azure DevOps
A set of modern dev services that helps you plan smarter, collaborate better, and ship faster.
Azure DevOps is made up of individual services that can be bought together or separately to enable and enhance CI/CD workflows. In Azure DevOps you’ll find agile planning tools, an automation tool for builds and deployments, flexible Git hosting, manual and exploratory testing tools, and a universal package repository.
Highlights
Built-in scrum boards and planning tools help your teams run sprints, stand-ups, and planning meetings. Comprehensive traceability allows work item tracking and keeps your team aligned. If you’re using GitHub, connect your GitHub repo to Azure boards and start linking commits and PRs to work items.
Automate your builds and deployments to implement continuous delivery (CD) of your software. Use any language to build. Deploy to any cloud platform, Kubernetes, VMs, Azure Functions, or Azure Web Apps. Benefit from hundreds of extensions and community-built tasks, support for YAML and more.
Improve your code quality with planned and exploratory testing services for your apps. Test across desktop and web apps and capture rich scenario data to make discovered defects actionable. Combine with Azure Pipelines to automate testing for CI/CD workflows.
Get unlimited private Git repository hosting and push code from any IDE, editor, or Git client. Add validations and extensions from the marketplace or build your own using web hooks and REST APIs. Quickly find what you’re looking for with semantic code search that understands classes and variables.
Simplify complex build jobs and make everything organised and easily shareable. Store Maven, npm, NuGet, and Python packages together and keep the public source package you use safe from deletion in your feed. Easily access your artifacts in builds and releases with native Azure Pipelines integration.
