Best-of-breed systems such as TFVC, Digital.ai Agility (Formerly VersionOne), and ServiceNow bring rich functionalities to the ecosystem. When TFVC is integrated with Digital.ai Agility and ServiceNow, 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 OpsHub Integration Manager integrates TFVC, Digital.ai Agility, and ServiceNow
OpsHub Integration Manager integrates TFVC, Digital.ai Agility (Formerly VersionOne), and ServiceNow – each system with the other bidirectionally. It ensures that all historical and current 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. The support team, using ServiceNow is also up-to-date with the status of a ticket (Incident, problem, or defect) raised by a customer.

Use Case: TFVC integration with Digital.ai Agility and ServiceNow
Problem statement: Lack of commit traceability means development and support teams must manually update their systems after successful commit against a workitem.
Solution: If Digital.ai Agility (Formerly VersionOne), TFVC, and ServiceNow are integrated using OpsHub Integration Manager, the build results will be automatically synchronized to all the integrated systems.
- A support team member logs an Incident in ServiceNow.
- The development team traces it as a ‘Defect’ in Digital.ai Agility.
- The development team works on the ‘Defect’ in Digital.ai Agility and commits the changes against the ‘Defect’ in TFVC.
- OpsHub Integration Manager synchronizes the commit information to Digital.ai Agility with the associated defect.
- The change also reflects in ServiceNow.
