Managing plug-ins#
Configure external tools so that their functions can be managed by UrbanCodeā¢ Velocity.
Plug-ins are software add-ons that extend UrbanCode Velocity functionality by integrating with external tools. In general, each plug-in manages one external application. The UrbanCode Deploy plug-in, for example, enables you to run UrbanCode Deploy applications.
UrbanCode Velocity supports several plug-in types:
- Value stream plug-ins are supported by default. To create an integration with these plug-ins, you simply configure an integration in the value stream JSON file.
- Quality data plug-ins integrate test and metrics data into reports and value streams.
- Dedicated plug-ins provide external data to value streams, pipelines, and releases. Plug-ins of this type include: UrbanCode Deploy, and Jenkins. Use the Integrations page to configure integrations for these plug-ins.
-
Task-based integrations provide external data to deployment plans. Use ServiceNow tasks to manage ServiceNow change requests.
