Collaborative Interaction between VMware and Cerner



Background: Programs rapidly moving towards an agile + DevOps software development approach

Challenge: Programs require investment in testing infrastructure and tools to support agile ALM and DevSecOps processes

Value Proposition:• Provide ready-made infrastructure, tools, and processes to accelerate software design, test and release automation …

faster, and at a much reduced cost compared to independent program and/or BU stand up• Accelerate adoption of test automation processes and the infrastructure to support it 6 months faster than if programs

were to self provision

Automated Tool Use (Potential 41% Productivity Increase)• Rate the degree to which the software development practices have been

automated

Reduced Turnaround Time (Potential 24% Productivity Increase)• Total turnaround time required to create a release version of the software.

Time to check-out all source files, compile and link, create all executables, and build software

Example: 70% reduction in test time

• Static test nodes• ~6.5 hour run time• 40 hours/week overhead cost

Static testing Server Nodes

• Dynamically generated test nodes• ~1.5 hour run time• 30% reduction in test failures due to

blueprinted test environments

iSEE: initial Pipeline test time reduced from 4h 18m to 1h 9min



New Multi-Tenant CapabilitiesSystem Blueprints and Dev/Test/Stage/Prod modeling

vRA: Self Service GUI for Design of Nested Multi-

Machine Blueprints

CodeStream: Self Service GUI for Design of

Dev/Test/Stage/Prod Environments – integration in to

current Development tools

Teams use CodeStream to auto-provision 200 VM’s an hour for various test blue-prints.

Blueprint designers can choose from multiple NSX network profiles to enable multiple NATTING and access scenarios

Teams connect their CI/CD tools directly to vRAto manage test and simulation blueprints. Currently auto-provisioning ~40 vm’s and hour for build, performance, and functional test parallelization
