AgileTest is Now a Forge app, and What's Next?

[#1]

Hi community, it's Lucas from DevSamurai, and I have some exciting news to share with you. Starting from the new version of 2.0.0-AC, AgileTest is now a Forge app! 🤩

So, what’s up with Forge?

Forge is Atlassian's cloud platform for app development, allowing developers to deploy their applications on infrastructure that Atlassian automatically provisions, manages, monitors, and scales. It also provides a wide range of tools to extend the functionality of Atlassian products.

Although Forge apps are built with JavaScript, the runtime environment differs from a typical Node.js setup.

You can learn more about the Forge platform and its runtime from Atlassian’s documentation.

Why adopt Forge?

By migrating to Forge, AgileTest can be hosted on Atlassian’s platform, and our developers are free from provisioning hosting or databases.

1. Serverless infrastructure managed by Atlassian

Atlassian handles all infrastructure management, meaning developers don’t need to manage servers, scaling, or hosting. We can focus purely on AgileTest development, making it one of the best test management tools for Jira, while Atlassian ensures the platform is secure, reliable, and scalable.

2. Security and compliance

Atlassian Forge adheres to industry-leading compliance standards like GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and more. This ensures that managing your app’s data follows strict privacy regulations.

Not only that, Forge also offers robust data residency options, allowing organizations to ensure that their data is stored and processed within specific geographic locations (e.g., in the EU, US, or other regions), in compliance with data sovereignty laws.

3. Streamlined authentication process

With Forge, authentication and authorization are automatically handled through Atlassian's existing identity management system. In other words, developers don’t need to implement complex login systems or token management for users accessing Forge apps.

Our next step with AgileTest

Being on Forge is only the first step, and there are still lots of things to do. Therefore, we continue to develop AgileTest, making it fully migrated to Forge. This process will help further enhance the security and reliability of AgileTest.

There are more great things happening to AgileTest. So, please make sure to stay updated with our latest news.
