New Connectivity between CA Service
Virtualization and CA API Management Accelerates Development and
Enhances Application Quality
CA WORLD ’14 — CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today introduced new
DevOps solutions and enhancements that further unify IT development
and operations teams to drive faster and more effective
development, deployment and management of high-quality
applications.
New, industry-first, seamless integration of service
virtualization with API management allows customers to deliver more
powerful applications quickly and more effectively. As businesses
seek to use APIs to build applications and open new revenue
opportunities, CA has extended Agile Parallel Development in the
enterprise to power innovation and growth for customers.
Melinda Ballou, program director, Application Life-Cycle
Management and Executive Strategies at IDC, said:
“APIs are becoming the primary customer interface for
technology-driven products and services on mobile and other
environments and a key channel for driving revenue and brand
engagement. Yet organizations lag at being able to test and improve
API quality. By integrating CA Service Virtualization and automated
testing with API management capabilities, CA is helping to enable
parallel development efforts and improve application quality. We
believe CA made the right decision to integrate their service
virtualization and test with API management solutions. Offering
these kinds of combined capabilities is differentiating and can
enable rapid application delivery.”
The CA DevOps portfolio on display at CA World includes
solutions across all platforms, from mobile to mainframe. Using CA
DevOps solutions, customers have reported significant improvements
in productivity (up to 60 percent), development speed (between 25
and 50 percent) and deployment (with up to 15 times reduction in
manual effort).
Dana Edwards, managing director and chief technology officer at
MUFG Union Bank, said:
“As a full-service bank with offices and data centers across the
United States, we have focused on becoming the world’s finest
technology organization, so the fast delivery of new products and
services is a priority. It’s one thing to make the release date,
but if we also release a superior product, under budget, with
minimum defects and stress tested for maximum loads using the
benefits of simulation, that’s even better. As a result of CA
Service Virtualization, we have reduced the costs for testing
cycles by 65-85 percent, application development time is reduced,
downtime due to refreshing test environments is now one hour vs. 10
hours, and time to set up development environments has been cut
from 42 days to just three days.”
Mandi Haas, director, Release Management and HealthPAS
Administrator of Molina Healthcare, said:
“We faced vast challenges of processing complex claims through
numerous integrated software components required for a Medicaid
Management Information System. With CA Release Automation, we were
able to reduce the cost of human error by 90 percent, speed up
application deployment time by more than 75 percent, and ultimately
increase customer service.”
Ramesh Ganapathy, head of DevOps, North America at Tech Mahindra
said:
“CA’s easy-to-use DevOps solutions provide innovative methods
for tackling various technology requirements that ultimately helped
us reduce costs in development, test and quality assurance areas.
With CA Service Virtualization and CA Release Automation, we were
able to improve our service delivery cycle time by 20-22 percent,
reduce bugs by approximately 30-35 percent in production and 25-30
percent in the overall development cycle time. As a result, our
application release time has been shortened from days to
minutes.”
Additional enhancements to the CA DevOps solutions announced
today include: new CA Mobile App Analytics to extend application
performance management across all platforms and important new CA
Release Automation features that further accelerate multi-tiered
application deployments.
Raj Rao, senior vice president and general manager, Application
Delivery at CA Technologies, said:
“CA is providing the software backbone needed to transform
enterprises into high-quality application factories. Our new and
enhanced DevOps solutions include industry-first capabilities that
will accelerate development and deployment cycles and drive higher
performance to meet growing end-user demands. Applications are the
face of business, and we are helping our customers gain new
competitive advantage in a world powered by applications.”
The following solutions are part of the broad portfolio of
DevOps capability on display at CA World ’14.
Agile Parallel Development – New capability unleashes
development velocity
Newly released connectivity between CA Service Virtualization
8.0 and CA’s industry-leading API Management brings APIs into the
DevOps process, and delivers improved time-to-market and quality
for customers. CA Service Virtualization 8.0 improves the speed of
error and defect detection and resolution, and provides more
powerful and automated simulated test environments.
Continuous Delivery – Connects with any open-source
DevOps tool to offer high-speed, high-quality release
automation
With CA Release Automation 5.5, CA further strengthens
customers’ ability to drive the continuous delivery of multi-tiered
application deployments. New customer integrations can now be
delivered in minutes – instead of days, with automated deployment
across the application lifecycle. And, the industry’s most
comprehensive third party, open-source integration library protects
customers’ prior IT investments.
Chandranshu Singh, senior analyst at Ovum commented on CA’s
DevOps offerings in a September 2014, OVUM SWOT Assessment
report:
“The application release process is still being run manually in
many organizations; not only is it resource intensive and
inefficient but also error prone. The business impact of faulty
releases is two-fold: on the one hand, there is revenue loss or
penalties are imposed by the client; and on the other hand, there
is the loss of reputation. Release automation tools help
organizations avoid production issues caused by erroneous
releases.
“CA Service Virtualization and CA Release Automation are tightly
integrated and make for a compelling offering for organizations
looking to speed up their application delivery. Furthermore, the
two products are among the market-leading tools in their respective
categories. CA Technologies has managed to establish itself in a
fast-growing and competitive market segment and is well placed to
capitalize on its position.”
Agile Operations – Deeper application performance
analytics to enable a higher quality user-experience
New CA Mobile App Analytics (CA MAA) extends CA’s performance
management across all enterprise applications and supporting
infrastructure, from mobile to mainframe. Tighter business KPI
alignment allows customers to identify and remedy issues faster,
and track application performance against key business
measures.
Global Service Delivery Drives Successful DevOps
Transformation
A recent study showed that more than half of organizations
require consulting support to help them achieve a successful DevOps
transformation.
To meet this need, CA offers an expanding DevOps practice with a
strong network of partners to offer training, assessment and other
key services to promote successful DevOps adoption. A growing
network of partners will support customers anywhere in the DevOps

Rohit Antao, principal and enterprise DevOps leader at PwC,
said:
"Today's digital reality is placing tremendous pressure on IT
leaders to maintain an unwavering focus on speed to market, while
not losing sight of service experience and quality. By combining
PwC's deep industry knowledge and IT transformation experience with
CA's DevOps solutions, we are in a great position to help clients
that have found themselves at this cross section. Together, we will
be able to address the most pressing IT delivery issues enterprises
are faced with today."
Vilas Patil, practice leader, DevOps Services at Cognizant,
said:
“DevOps is becoming a vital platform of our clients’ continuous
delivery strategies. That is why Cognizant and CA are expanding our
partnership to help companies drive innovation and business value
with DevOps. By combining Cognizant’s DevOps experience and the ca
Devcenter technologies, we can help companies automate
complex release deployments, reduce errors and speed up application
delivery from days to minutes.”
Today’s announcements were made at CA World ’14, where the
company is showcasing the latest Security, DevOps and Management
Cloud solutions – critical for customer success in the Application
Economy.
