DevOps, with the same facts on both sides
DevOps is about development and operations working together to move faster, fix problems and see trouble coming. SMART TS XL gives both teams the same view of the application portfolio, so issues are solved before they become costly.
Communication and collaboration
If your organization encourages a DevOps culture, you know it is all about development and operations working together to expedite projects, resolve problems and anticipate potential issues. DevOps emphasizes communication, cooperation and collaboration between the two teams, and that is where SMART TS XL helps.
SMART TS XL, a Software Intelligence® platform, offers visibility and access across your entire application portfolio. It helps diverse teams see problems, analyze them and work together on solutions.
With the ability to export and share artifacts, SMART TS XL makes communication between developers and operations easier, so potential issues are addressed before they become costly problems.
Without SMART TS XL
- Operations sees an abend; development sees a ticket

- Effort estimates argued, not measured
With SMART TS XL
- One shared picture of programs, jobs and data
- One search for code, errors, messages and commands
- Change impact predicted before the release
- Scope measured with program complexity reports

ILLUSTRATIVE QUESTIONS AND RESULTS
Where SMART TS XL fits in the DevOps loop
Plan and code
Complexity reports size each change, and search shows developers every place the logic lives before they write a line.
Build and test
Impact analysis turns a change into a list of affected programs, jobs and tables, so testing covers what matters.
Release and deploy
Shared reports and diagrams give operations the same view as development, so releases are reviewed with facts.
Operate and monitor
When something fails, operations finds the job, program and line in one search and hands development a clear starting point.

Questions about DevOps
Does SMART TS XL replace our DevOps tools?
No. It works next to your pipeline, ticketing and monitoring tools as the shared source of truth about the code, jobs and data they act on.
Can trouble tickets be linked to programs?
Yes. Tickets, documents and other text-based assets can be indexed and linked to the programs they describe, so both teams move between them easily.
Can operations ask questions in plain English?
Yes. Through ASK AI or the MCP Connector, anyone with access can ask about jobs, programs and errors in plain English, read-only and audited.
