Application Lifecycle Management
Application Lifecycle Management allows you to manage your users, data, and environments to ensure testing agility and ease of deployments.Part of our deploy-faster initiative is investing in a full suite of tools to help your IT team to improve testing and deployment agility.
Zuora Developer SBX allows the developers to take a snapshot of the configurations from production. It allows frequent refreshes enabling developers to test the latest modifications in a clean environment.
Central Sandbox takes a snapshot of both production configurations and transactional data to speed up your UAT testing. It is an ideal environment for performance and load testing. In FY23 the users will be enabled to customize data scrubbing.
Data Migration is a fundamental component for testing,deploying, and releasing faster. Learn more: Data migration in Zuora Billing.
This suite of capabilities ensures you are testing with agility and ease. Learn more from the video and presentation below.
