View Application Insights

The Insights page is displayed by default when you click an application name in the Applications table. It contains widgets for application details and links to any critical CVEs detected in your trusted releases.

Two of the widgets, Deployment Frequency and Lead Time for Changes, display standard DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) metrics. They provide data-driven insights into how effectively teams release software.

To view the application Insights page:

In the Platform module, select AppTrust > Applications.
Click the name of an application in the table. The Insights tab is displayed by default.

The Insights page contains the following information:

Application Details

This tile contains the key details about the applications, including its maturity, criticality, owners, labels, and description. Click the Edit icon to edit the application.

Trusted Release monitor

Even after an application version completes its lifecycle and is released, AppTrust can continue to monitor trusted releases for critical CVEs that can impact the users of your application. Any critical CVEs that are detected after release are mentioned here.

Tip: Click the CVE link to jump to the Risk tab, which provides details about the vulnerability that was detected post-release. For more information, see View the Risk Issues Detected in an Application Version.

Deployment Frequency

Deployment Frequency is a standard DORA metric indicating how often code is successfully released to production. This is a method of measuring velocity, automation maturity, and continuous delivery.

This bar chart shows the number of application versions released per day. Hover over a bar to see the list of versions released on that day.

Benchmark: A badge in the upper right of the chart shows a rating of Elite, High, Medium, or Low. A higher rating is given for more frequent releases during the time period. Hover over the badge to see how it was calculated.
Trend Indicator: Below the badge, an arrow indicates an upward or downward trend in deployment frequency over the previous time period. The percentage indicates the strength of the trend compared to the previous time period.

Lead Time for Changes

Lead Time for Changes is a standard DORA metric indicating the time from code commit to successful production deployment. This is taken as a measure of efficiency of the development, testing, and release process.

This graph shows the median time it takes for a new application version to get from creation to production. A point on the graph represents the median lead time of the applications released on that day. Hover over the data point to see the versions released on that day and the actual lead time for each one.

The graph shows a benchmark and a trend indicator similar to those for Deployment Frequency. A higher rating is given for shorter median lead times. Hover over the badge to see how it was calculated.
