UrbanCode Deploy provides extensive capabilities for configuring WebSphere Application Server (WAS) through plug-ins: Application Deployment for WebSphere - which enables the auto-discovery of WAS cells; and Middleware Configuration for WebSphere - which allows for management of WAS configurations. When combined, UrbanCode Deploy and these plug-ins enable a rapid, controlled method for continuous delivery to WebSphere Application Servers.

This white paper will discuss key tips for improving a release process and strengthening release management. Once the following practices are in order, the process can be enabled to keep up with the pace of Agile, and reduce the risks associated with rapid deployments.

In this e-book, you will learn how to gain faster application delivery with automated release and deployment.

Development, IT and even testing teams must do more in less time, increase the frequency of software delivery, and produce higher quality software. All of this without adding headcount. In response, enterprises are creating collaborative, cross-silo teams that reflect the interdependence and importance of every stage within the software delivery pipeline. The benefits are steadily visible.
