## Integrations with third-party tools

PulseUno now integrates with GitHub checks, enabling you to work on your code in GitHub, use PulseUno chains for continuous integration (CI), and send chain results to your GitHub repository.

## OpenText integrations

The following enhancements are available when using integrations with other OpenText products.

Enhancement | Description

You can now configure a chain that detects OpenText Functional Testing tests in your workspace and informs OpenText Software Delivery Management about them. OpenText Software Delivery Management then discovers individual tests, and you can run specific tests, rather than the full set from an OpenText Software Delivery Management test suite. For details, see Run OpenText Functional Testing tests from OpenText Software Delivery Management.
Fortify ScanCentral SAST plugin | This plugin offloads the translation and scanning phases of static code analysis to remote Fortify ScanCentral SAST sensors.
