Welcome to Release Notes for DevOps
Introduction
Changelogs play a key role in the product development process, providing customers with insight into the changes made to a particular product and showcasing the progress made.
Simova GmbH introduces "Release Notes for DevOps", an Azure DevOps extension that seamlessly integrates into the Azure DevOps process. This extension takes the process of writing release notes and generating changelogs to a whole new level.
How it works
Within Azure DevOps, there are work items that can be created. These work items contain information about how specific tasks or packages should be handled. However, this information is not directly suitable for inclusion in a changelog. To address this, the extension provides the ability to write a release note for each work item. These release notes are then imported into a changelog. The changelog can be customized with a custom layout, sorting, and various other features. The changelog can then be exported using several available options.
Integration into the Process
The "Release Notes for DevOps" extension provides two distinct approaches to integrating it into your workflow.
Manual Changelog Creation
In this option you create changelogs manually in the changelog hub. There you can make individual adjustments per changelog.
Automatic Changelog Generation
In this option, you can integrate our "Release Notes for DevOps Build Task" into your pipeline, enabling the automated generation of Changelogs during pipeline execution.
