SINGAPORE, June 16, 2016 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ:
CA) today announced the availability of CA
Release Automation Continuous Delivery Edition, and several new
integrations across CA’s DevOps portfolio and third party solutions creating
the first integrated, fully automated and open continuous delivery ecosystem.
Organizations can now connect and automate the entire app pipeline progression
from development, to test, to production, to acceleratedeployment times of applications by as much as 20 times* and improve testing efficiency by up to 25 percent**.

“Continuous delivery is the bedrock of digital transformation
and the ability to rapidly and reliably release applications that meet the
demands of internal and external customers alike is what makes the difference.
However end-to-end automation of continuous delivery can be very challenging
and it is critical to have it seamlessly integrate processes and tools
especially in today’s application economy,” said Richard Gerdis, vice
president, DevOps, Asia Pacific & Japan, CA Technologies. “Without a
purpose-built DevOps integration mainstay, it’s not possible to have the diverse
DevOps tools to work together. This results in insufficient visibility in the
end-to-end process bottlenecks and wastage of engineering integrations. As
such, we’ve created the industry’s first open integration-and-automation
backbone for continuous delivery and believe it’s the best solution for
accelerating end-to-end DevOps while ensuring effective end-to-end DevOps
governance.”

Using Continuous Delivery to Develop Swiftly, Test Agilely and
Release Reliably

As organizations progress on their digital transformation
journey, the volume, velocity and complexity of applications continues to grow.
“Businesses no longer have the luxury of time. Rising customer expectations,
competitive threats, and increased consumer choice have turned rapid delivery and
iteration of software applications into a competitive differentiator.
Optimizing the delivery value chain has become the new means to better business
outcomes,” according to Forrester Research.***

For application owners tasked with rapidly delivering innovative
and inspiring applications, but struggling with constraints and dependencies
across the software development lifecycle, CA helps eliminate these challenges
by providing continuous delivery capabilities that enable organizations to
improve release planning and orchestration, use agile testing to test less and
cover more, provision data on demand and deploy simulated environments – all
with zero touch workflow.

This is accomplished through:
· CA
Release Automation Continuous Delivery Edition is a premium
module for CA Release Automation that enables zero-touch app progression and
deployment. Its analytic capabilities enable DevOps teams to plan, manage,
analyze and optimize the continuous delivery pipeline from a single control
point.

· CA Service Virtualization integration
with CA Test
Data Manager quickly generates realistic virtual data and injects the
data directly into a deployed virtual service to improve the efficiency and
quality of testing, while avoiding compliance risks.

“With CA’s continuous delivery solutions we’re standardizing our
application products, achieving consistency between server environment
platforms and are able to easily integrate CA Release Automation with other
continuous integration applications such as Jenkins,” said Matt McComas, AVP
Critical Applications, GM Financial. “As a result, we are quickly identifying
and resolving inconsistencies in our application environments and have been
able to cut deployment times down to two and a half minutes for a 98% reduction
in deployment time.”

Integration between CA API Management, CA Service Virtualization and CA
Application Test enable development teams to automatically create the
virtual services and API tests needed to support the rapid development of
composite applications and microservices. Furthermore, to help organizations
leverage existing investments, CA’s continuous delivery solutions integrate
easily with market tools such as HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM),
Atlassian’s JIRA Software, Jenkins, Docker, Perfecto, Chef and Puppet for an
open and fully integrated continuous delivery solution stack.

“By using different CA tools as part of the software development
lifecycle, testing is no longer a gatekeeper, but rather an operational quality
door opener that helps simplify the development of new releases,” said, Arnold
Hoogerwerf, IT strategy advisor at KPN, a leading telecommunications company in
the Netherlands. “The tools we use from CA’s set of continuous delivery
solutions have allowed us to reduce our investment and increase our agility in
testing and helped us discover defects earlier so we can continually improve
the quality of our applications in a shorter timeframe.”
