- DevOps Center lets you choose whether to manage your releases from its point-and-click interface, or directly from the source control system, or a combination of both. Under the hood, we manage the source control branches so developers and builders can focus on development tasks.
- Because all changes are captured in a source control system, you have a single source of truth for configuration and code, which improves collaboration across all functions: admins, developers, release managers, QA, and other business stakeholders.
What do you need to start with DevOps Center?
- Access to DevOps Center in Salesforce
- Access to Dev Org, Dev Integrated Org, QA Org, and Stage Org
- Access to GitHub, (BB is in Beta as of 11/26/2024)
Work Item-
In Salesforce DevOps Center, a work item is a logical unit of work that represents a collection of metadata changes for a project
Because all changes are captured in a source control system, you have a single source of truth for configuration and code, which improves collaboration across all functions: admins, developers, release managers, QA, and other business stakeholders.
A work item encapsulates information about an objective or task while it’s being worked on and is assigned to one individual. The work item is a historical record if questions arise about those changes.
Create Review
- Once work item is created and components get added, pls submit for review by clicking the “Create Review” button on Work item.
- When a work item is reviewed and approved, you can change the status to Ready to Promote.
Recommendation on Work Item
- If a plan changes, or if a change conflicts with another change, you can change the status of a work item to Never. This will make the work item inactive and return the committed files to the list of available changes.
- Limit the number of work items
- Combine work items
Things to Remember
- SF Devops center is in its initial stages, It's not as rich as other tools like Flosum or Copado or many more.
- We will not have the cool feature that flosum had which is the Overwrite protection against the org.
- BitBucket is support is still in Beta version
