An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
A DevOps toolchain is a collection of tools that jointly facilitate the software development and deployment lifecycle. Since all such tools sport RESTful interfaces, it’s easy to connect them together to support DevOps’ continuous delivery and integration priorities.
Until, that is, you end up with a rats’ nest of point-to-point integrations, leading to complexity and inflexibility – the last things you need when implementing DevOps in your organization.
Tasktop solves this software lifecycle integration problem by connecting to numerous tools across the software lifecycle and synching the data across them. Tasktop understands the needs of each of over 25 popular tools as well as how they may conflict with one another, so that it can resolve such conflicts automatically.
Tasktop also runs an ‘integration factory,’ where it runs numerous API tests on an ongoing basis. Every time any vendor or open source project team releases a new version of a tool, Tasktop runs it through the factory, ensuring interoperability with all the other tools it tracks.
