Managing your Analytics lifecycle in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS

[Michael_Tarallo]

Our Leigh Kennedy, Master Principal Enterprise Architect, is back sharing his in the trenches experience with you. In the attached document Leigh educates you on applying software development life cycle (SDLC) concepts to your Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS tenants. Take it away Leigh!

Introduction

The majority of customers use some form of software development lifecycle in their organizations. When moving to SaaS customers are sometimes unsure of if or how to apply these techniques to a Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS environment.

We will explore some of the technical processes that need to occur within or interacting with a Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS tenant as part of a software development lifecycle. We look at a number of areas including setting up your SaaS tenant in a way that supports your SDLC, encouraging re-use, building context aware applications, and many other topics. This document covers Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS only and does not focus on our Hybrid Data Delivery or Qlik Application Automation offerings - they deserve a doc of their own and we hope to bring you one in the near future!

The aim of this document is not to provide a strict SDLC process for customers to follow, rather it aims to provide examples of how SDLC processes could work in a Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS environment. We encourage you to implement or amend the parts or this you need so Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS fits into your organization.

Is Qlik SaaS going to have a functionality to publish Automations into spaces just like apps?

• What does the SDLC looks like for Automations?
• We have many automations but its extremely frustrating that we can not move or publish. Very difficult to keep track of dev vs prod automations! 
• How can an Admin manage Automations created by developers?

Thanks Leigh,

I've been waiting for some 'best practice' on how to use Spaces for a while now. This is great.

Cheers,

Barnaby.

Hey @Michael_Tarallo this PDF is great. Please note small typo "Regression environments where
but fixes can be made in parallel with future development efforts."

should read "Regression environments where
bug fixes can be made in parallel with future development efforts."

Best regards
