DevOps & Continuous Delivery Lifecycle Explained
DevOps is a culture that brings development and operations specialists together. It fosters quick innovation, continuous delivery, and cross-functional teams. In traditional software development, the operations specialists and engineers work separately, which leads to confusion in deploying the code into production. The DevOps practice helps improve communication between the two teams. In our video, we talk about: • Why DevOps is needed • DevOps teams • The role of DevOps engineer • Continuous delivery — the workflow of DevOps teams Also, read our article to learn more: https://www.altexsoft.com/blog/engineering/devops-principles-practices-and-devops-engineer-role/ Sources: [1] These are phrases by Lee Thompson, Founder and organizer for the annual DevOpsDays Austin conference, CTO at Precision Autonomy. http://dev2ops.org/2009/09/qa-lee-thompson-former-chief-technologist-of-etrade-financial/ [2] https://youtu.be/pebIr4F-vjQ [3] https://www.slideshare.net/jallspaw/10-deploys-per-day-dev-and-ops-cooperation-at-flickr [4] https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/1142055.1142065?download=true [5] https://research.fb.com/publications/development-and-deployment-at-facebook/ [6] https://itrevolution.com/conways-law/ [7] https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/state-of-devops-2019.pdf #DevOps #ContinuousDelivery #DevOpsLifecycle Learn more about AltexSoft: https://www.altexsoft.com Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/altexsoft/ Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/altexsoft/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AltexSoft Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/altexsoftcom/ Music in video: Divertimento K131 by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100533 Artist: http://incompetech.com/
Software Testing Explained: How QA is Done Today
Historically, testing hadn’t been a priority. In the 1960s, IBM introduced System/360, a legendary mainframe computer built specifically to be modular and compatible with any task. The cost and time it took to build were just as legendary - around 1000 employees worked on the system for 10 years, and the initial budget of $25 million was raised to $5 billion. That situation was typical for the 60s. Programs took ages to build, companies hired excessive numbers of engineers to speed up development, but the pool of qualified programmers was limited, and soon they ended up with low-quality, bug-infested software. What about today? Testing became more than a routine task, it deserved the title of Quality Assurance, which also covers planning, monitoring, and control. And what about the fastest growing areas in QA today? Watch our video to find out more.
