DevOps & Continuous Delivery Assurance: Accelerating Quality and Speed in Software Releases
DevOps & Continuous Delivery Assurance within the field of Digital Assurance is concerned with streamlining and automating the complete software development and deployment cycle to realize quicker, more stable, and high-quality software releases. By applying FirstAgile’s DevOps methodologies, which unite development and operations staff, combined with continuous delivery of OnDemand, we provide for unproblematic software deployment. This process assures that every update is fully tested and ready for production. The objective is to support consistent software quality, security, and performance throughout the development life cycle, allowing organizations to provide customer value more quickly and accurately.
Methods Utilized:
Automated Testing in CI/CD Pipelines: Integrating automated tests into continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) processes to guarantee that each code change is verified, minimizing defect risk and accelerating time to market.
CI/CD Tool Integration: The use of tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Bamboo to facilitate the automation of code integration, testing, and deployment to make seamless, errorfree transitions across phases of the software life cycle.
Deployment Automation: Automating deployment procedures to eliminate the possibilities of human errors and to ensure updates are delivered persistently and quickly into production environments.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Leverage IaC tools such as Terraform or Ansible to provision infrastructure automatically, rendering environments scalable, reproducible, and more fault tolerant.
Continuous Monitoring & Realtime Feedback: Implementing strong monitoring mechanisms and feedback loops to monitor application performance and user behavior, allowing for rapid issue resolution and system tuning.
