TFVC – Digital.ai Agility and Jenkins Integration Overview

In an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) ecosystem, the choice of systems and the collaboration between the cross-functional teams play a great role. While the choice of systems impacts the productivity of a team, the cross-functional collaboration helps the teams get complete context of the business requirements.

Best-of-breed systems such as Digital.ai Agility (Formerly VersionOne), Jenkins, and TFVC bring rich functionalities to the ecosystem. When TFVC is integrated with Digital.ai Agility and Jenkins, all stakeholders have real-time visibility into the commits made by the development team. It is also easier to enforce authentic commits against each work item and access the changes/edits made to the commit files from Digital.ai Agility itself.

How TFVC – Digital.ai Agility – Jenkins integration is beneficial for an enterprise

  • Track commit volume, track commit trends and edits/changes to commit files in real time
  • Enforce authentic commits to make sure each commit is happening against a scheduled and open workitem
  • Eliminate manual effort to close Digital.ai Agility work item by automating the state transition on TFVC commit

With TFVC, Digital.ai Agility, and Jenkins integration, enterprises can:

TFVC VersionOne and Jenkins Integration

How OpsHub Integration Manager integrates TFVC, Digital.ai Agility, and Jenkins

OpsHub Integration Manager integrates TFVC, Digital.ai Agility (Formerly VersionOne), and Jenkins – all systems to each other bi-directionally. It ensures that all data is available to each user, in that user’s preferred system, with full context, in real-time. All the details related to a commit made against a work item in Digital.ai Agility can be tracked from Digital.ai Agility itself. For example, for each commit that the development team makes in TFVC, TFVC synchronizes a ‘commit entity’ linked to the specific requirement id back to Digital.ai Agility.

Use Case: TFVC integration with Digital.ai Agility, and Jenkins

Problem statement: Pre-commit hooks can be configured to prevent faulty/erroneous check-ins.

Solution: If Digital.ai Agility (Formerly VersionOne) and TFVC are integrated using OpsHub Integration Manager, the pre-configured hooks will prevent check-ins against a wrong/incorrect ID or a defect in an inactive sprint.

  1. A developer works on a ‘defect’ in Digital.ai Agility and runs a test case against it. The test case passes.
  2. The developer then commits against the ‘defect’ in TFVC.
  3. As the ‘defect’ against which the developer has committed is not in active sprint, when Jenkins runs a pre-scheduled test on it, the commit fails.
  4. The status of the commit synchronizes to Digital.ai Agility.

Benefits of integration for TFVC and Digital.ai Agility users

TFVC users

  • Each commit can be traced back to its respective work item at any given point in time from TFVC itself
  • Enforced checkpoints ensure that no mandatory steps/checks are missed while making a commit – this leads to high success rate for commits

Digital.ai Agility users

  • Traceability for business requirements throughout the ALM tool chain
  • Visibility into the volume, quality of commits, and commit trends in real-time
