Gradle
Develocity is a software platform designed to enhance developer productivity by supporting various build systems and offering features like Build Cache, Predictive Test Selection, and Test Distribution.
Develocity Services
Develocity is a software platform developed to enhance developer productivity. It supports several build systems including Maven, Bazel, sbt, and Gradle. The platform's key features include Build Cache, Predictive Test Selection, Test Distribution, and Performance Continuity. Develocity's Build Cache optimizes build times by reusing unchanged build and test outputs. Predictive Test Selection employs machine learning to run only those tests likely to provide useful feedback, while Test Distribution quickens test execution by distributing test cases across multiple agents.
Build Scan® Service
Develocity offers a Build Scan® service that supplies detailed build and test data to help developers quickly identify and address issues. This service is available for Gradle, Maven, and sbt builds. It provides comprehensive insights into build performance, helping developers to detect, group, and prioritize avoidable build and test failures for remediation. This tool is a crucial part of Develocity's efforts to sustain build and test performance improvements long-term.
Integration Capabilities
Develocity integrates seamlessly with multiple CI systems like Jenkins, TeamCity, GitHub Actions, and Bamboo. It also supports various Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) including IntelliJ, Microsoft Visual Studio/VSCode, Eclipse IDE, and Android Studio. Additionally, Develocity provides a REST API that allows users to integrate build observability data into their data warehouses or reporting solutions, enabling extensive analysis and monitoring of build and test performance.
Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE)
Develocity supports the practice of Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE), which focuses on enhancing developer productivity through technology and automation. By implementing features like Build Cache, Predictive Test Selection, and Test Distribution, Develocity helps developers minimize build and test times, thereby increasing overall efficiency. This approach is designed to detect and correct issues rapidly, ensuring that development teams can maintain consistent productivity and software quality.
Performance Monitoring
Develocity offers extensive capabilities for monitoring build and test performance. It provides a comprehensive set of dashboards that display performance metrics and trends. These dashboards enable teams to track the impact of build performance improvements and identify potential issues early. The Performance Continuity features ensure that these improvements are sustained over time, helping companies to maintain a high level of developer productivity consistently. The platform is utilized by several leading tech and global business brands to bolster their developer productivity and software quality.
