The Unqork Development Life Cycle (UDLC) Toolkit is a suite of tools for managing the full application life cycle in Unqork. Use these tools to test configurations, manage releases, monitor performance, and analyze service behavior during development.
Designer Administrator access is required to use the UDLC Toolkit. The toolkit is available by default in Staging, QA, and UAT environments. UDLC tools can be promoted to Pre-Production and Production environments with approval from the organization's information security team.
Security note: Tools like the Flexible Data Manager let end-users access and modify , which might include sensitive data or PII. Follow the principle of least privilege for all roles, especially Designer and Express administration, and monitor admin account activity.
Accessing the UDLC Toolkit
To open the UDLC Toolkit from the Unqork Designer Platform:
