Use guided setup to start using ReleaseOps quickly. You can also continue to use manual setup for more complex setup scenarios and if you need to add changes to your ReleaseOps ecosystems later.

Add custom, flexible, and manual activities to your assessment and release playbooks with runbook tasks, without having to adjust the structure of your playbooks from one release to the next.

Define the type of runbook task and when the task should occur in your ReleaseOps playbooks.

Leverage Automated Test Framework (ATF) code coverage in ReleaseOps. ATF code coverage enables you to determine what percentage of code in a deployment request is covered by ATF test suites. You can define the threshold for ATF test failure and see what lines of code were covered by the ATF test suites.

If you have a Now Assist for Creator subscription, you can generate update descriptions using the release lifecycle documentation AI agent.
