[Fast-tracking DevX for Z - Best Practices](https://players.brightcove.net/6415665063001/Vh8ALpkmx_default/index.html?videoId=6389076174112) Broadcom offers an industry-leading portfolio of tools used by mainframe teams to take advantage of contemporary, hybrid development practices without disruption. Usher in a new era of code change confidence and application vitality. ## Benefits ### Risk-managed Developers have a strong affinity for their tools: editors/IDEs, version control, build tools. Rather than disrupting well-established tooling and practices, Broadcom offers the best of both worlds - the ability to adopt hybrid development standards while maintaining legacy tools to streamline the transition. ### Freedom of choice Rather than a prescriptive approach to development, Broadcom offers maximum flexibility allowing each organization and team to adopt the practices and tools that best fit their needs. This Open-first approach ensures interoperability in a fast-changing technology landscape. ### Normalization Incorporating contemporary enterprise standards for application development, testing, and DevOps automation enables mainframe teams to increase delivery velocity while accessing a vast talent pool, including internal transfers. ## Featured Products ### [Team Build](https://www.broadcom.com/products/mainframe/application-development-testing-devops/team-build) Team Build paves the way to new levels of IT alignment by enabling mainframe teams to use Git SCM and enterprise toolchains for z/OS applications. ### [Mainframe DevOps Suite](https://www.broadcom.com/products/mainframe/application-development-testing-devops/mainframe-devops-suite) Accelerate application software delivery with a suite of hybrid development tools and enablers ### [Code4z](https://www.broadcom.com/products/mainframe/application-development-testing-devops/code4z) Empower developers with a contemporary, hybrid experience using Visual Studio Code (VS Code) and compatible cloud development environments (CDEs). ### [Endevor®](https://www.broadcom.com/products/mainframe/application-development-testing-devops/endevor) Adopt modern development and DevOps practices, building on a rock-solid foundation including Bridge for Git, Team Build, Endevor Web Services, Endevor Web Interface, and DevOps integrations. ### [HB.js](https://www.broadcom.com/products/mainframe/application-development-testing-devops/hostbridge) Create and orchestrate highly-efficient APIs for CICS applications, while optimizing existing integrations, including those created with 3rd party tools. ### [Gen](https://www.broadcom.com/products/mainframe/application-development-testing-devops/gen) Deliver and maintain high-performing enterprise applications. ## Testimonials We use Endevor – it’s the gold standard in the industry. **Mainframe DevOps Lead** Top 5 European Bank HostBridge is perfect – it’s exactly what we need for our upcoming projects. **Architect** State Government I’m super excited about this [Code4z].
