Pega Agile Studio integration
Valid from Pega Version 7.3
You can configure the new Agile Workbench tool to integrate with Pega® Agile Studio so that bugs and user stories are synchronized between the two systems. In addition, you can improve traceability in your development environment by using the Current work feature to associate a user story or bug with development changes.
For more information, see Integrating Agile Workbench with Pega Agile Studio and Tracing development changes to work items.
Create connections to repositories
Valid from Pega Version 7.3
Pega® Platform can communicate with common repository technologies. Whenever an action creates a RAP, Pega Platform can browse, publish, or fetch artifacts: for example, when exporting an application, product, branch, or component. Repositories are instances of the Data-Repository class which holds all necessary connection information.
Pega Platform includes tools to connect with the following repository types:
- JFrog Artifactory
- Amazon S3
For more information, see Creating a JFrog Artifactory or Amazon S3 repository connection.
Capture real-time feedback with Agile Workbench
Valid from Pega Version 7.3
Project stakeholders can use the new Agile Workbench tool to capture real-time feedback directly in an application, which can increase the efficiency of application development. You capture feedback by creating a user story, bug, or feedback item, and these work items can include video recordings of screens, annotated screen captures, file attachments, or URLs. In Designer Studio, you can configure Agile Workbench to integrate with Pega® Agile Studio so that bugs and user stories are synchronized between the two systems.

Link URLs to applications, requirements, and specifications
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.8
In addition to files, you can now attach URLs to applications, requirements, and specifications by using the Add/Edit Attachment modal dialog box in Pega 7. This change allows you to link directly to dynamic content in other URL-based systems rather than link to a static file of that content.
Generate documents in the background
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.8
When you generate system documentation by using the Document Application wizard (
> > > ), the process now runs on a server and not on your local client system. This change not only generates your document more quickly, but also allows you to multi-task within Pega 7 while your document is generating in the background. When the generation is completed, download the document to your computer.For more information, see:
