<strong>DevOps</strong>: <strong>An</strong> <strong>Approach</strong> <strong>That</strong> <strong>Changed</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Face</strong><br />
<strong>Of</strong> <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong> <strong>Management</strong><br />
Software development has always been a real challenge and will always remain<br />
one in the coming days. Despite the effective test environment management<br />
tools, there was a lack of communication between developers and personnel<br />
managing the operations. Technically because of the approach to keep<br />
development and operations in a different environment.<br />
It was when Agile came into the picture and software picked up a faster pace,<br />
Development and operations were made to coordinate together with the<br />
<strong>DevOps</strong> approach.<br />
What makes <strong>DevOps</strong> special?<br />
<strong>DevOps</strong> is intended to integrate development, quality assurance and operations<br />
together in the flow of a single process. <strong>The</strong> merger is intended to coordinate<br />
with the speed of Agile.
<strong>DevOps</strong> is more of a culture. A culture that needs to be adapted effectively by<br />
the entire team because the whole approach of <strong>DevOps</strong> is intended to manage<br />
the teamwork. <strong>DevOps</strong> depends for its success on the team.<br />
<strong>The</strong> affiliation with the tools<br />
<strong>DevOps</strong> like any other process follows a set of the cycle starting from planning,<br />
development, testing deployment, release to monitoring the output. <strong>The</strong> cycle<br />
needs to run in coordination, which can be achieved if we duly implement the IT<br />
test environment management tools.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tools are present to manage the stages involved in the process of software<br />
development. For example, some tools are designed to manage continuous<br />
delivery workflow, assisting the QA team with the scripts. While some are there<br />
to present visual analytics and automate application development.<br />
Evolving benefits of <strong>DevOps</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> concept of <strong>DevOps</strong> says that it focuses on enhancing the technical, company<br />
and environmental aspects of software development.<br />
Improved workflow and software quality<br />
Continuous delivery is a vital approach followed by <strong>DevOps</strong>. Over and above<br />
which improvements have been witnessed in the speed of feedback. <strong>The</strong><br />
developers here have the upper hand. With the integration of <strong>DevOps</strong>, they can<br />
now treat the bugs in the initial stage itself.<br />
From the business perspective<br />
<strong>The</strong> team can address the problems of the customer better with a workflow<br />
dedicated to solving customer queries. In the long run, it helps to establish a
trusted relationship between business and the customers.<br />
Thus, the <strong>DevOps</strong> approach is intended to improve the delivery pipeline and<br />
integrate the activities. This aspect changes the way automation tools worked,<br />
the involvement of different activities changes the functions of the tools as well.<br />
