How to Create Teams in Mobile DevSecOps Build System to Accelerate Delivery

Last updated September 3, 2023 by Appdome

When working in a team, there are different roles for each team member – for example, one builds the app, the other signs it, and another one reviews it. Appdome enables working in that manner by using Appdome for Teams.

This Knowledge Base article provides an overview of Appdome for Teams, explaining how to leverage Appdome’s built-in templates, workflows, approval chains, and entitlement controls to achieve better mobile outcomes through cross-functional and cross-organizational collaboration.

We hope you find this knowledge base useful and enjoy using Appdome!

How to Use Team Workflows in Mobile App Security Projects

Appdome for Teams enables you to collaborate with your teammates in order to integrate with Appdome. You can use all of Appdome’s features in a team, so each team member can do his role in building the app while viewing all the other team member’s progress.

Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites. For example, there is no Appdome SDK, libraries, or plug-ins to implement. The Appdome technology adds features and relevant standards, frameworks, and more to the app automatically, with no manual development work at all.

Prerequisites for using Appdome for Teams

To use Appdome for Teams features, you need Appdome account – Ideal-GO or Higher.

Appdome for Teams is Ideal for CI/CD Development Environments

Development organizations invest heavily in creating unique CI/CD development cycles that meet their organizational needs. Project managers and DevOps team leads, assign specific responsibilities during the development cycle to specific experts. This manner of working ensures that the right people are doing the right job and accelerates the development cycle, and is a fundamental part of any CI/CD process. Adding a dependency on external integration processes will have a significant impact on well-oiled CI/CD processes.

Appdome for Teams is ideal for getting the right experts doing what they need to focus on in a collaborative mobile integration project.
