  1. What is the Role of QA in the world of DevOps?

  2. Introduction: DevOps is an extension of agile software development approach and enables a simultaneous occurrence of software development and testing through continuous collaboration between all stakeholders. Enterprises today are witnessing a rapid adoption of DevOps to accelerate time to market and to better respond to and meet the ever-changing customer needs. DevOps has emerged from the necessity of businesses to respond more quickly to market changes for gaining competitive advantage and rapid business growth. DevOps – Why, What, How & Who? Why: Increase business benefits by reducing the transaction cost associated with delivering incremental change.  What (Goal): Clarity, consistency, and collaboration to understand the changes that each release brings to the IT and customer environments  How: Methodology and tools that continue to evolve  Who: Developers, QA, and Operations  • Key Highlights of DevOps • Quicker and faster software delivery  • Stable operating environments  • Early detection and faster correction of defects  • Transparency and Collaboration across teams  • Continuous release and deployment  • Continuous testing, Improved quality   • Continuous monitoring  • Reduced time to market 

  3. The Cultural Shift DevOps is all about keeping the software deployable at any point in time over working on new features. It calls for a cultural shift among all stakeholders of the organization and requires them to come together and work towards a common goal of creating rapid, reliable, and repeatable processes. DevOps encourages development and operations teams to function as one single team, focused on delivering business value across the IT value chain.  Traditionally, a development team and an operations department usually have entirely different deliverables and responsibilities. Development team continuously indulges in developing software/application based on changing user needs or market demands for new features or making changes and fixes in the existing product. Operations team tries to retain everything as constant as possible so as to deliver maximum stability and availability of software services.

  4. Between the two differing goals of Development and Operations teams, Quality Assurance (QA) plays an important role as a key enabler in delivering business value. And, DevOps seamlessly integrates all the three functions – Dev, Ops, and QA into a single IT entity that delivers value. DevOps breaks down the organizational silos between development and operations teams. It emphasizes that QA is everyone’s responsibility. QA & testing function as a bridge between all disciplines, from clients and business to development and operations in DevOps. QA & testing is viewed as one of the most vital levers for accelerating time to market within DevOps initiatives.  The Strategic Role of QA in DevOps In the DevOps approach, testers and developers play equally important roles. The boundaries of job responsibilities between a developer and tester become blurred in DevOps. QA ties together development and operations and enables them to collaborate to have software and applications up & running. Everyone in the organization takes responsibility for quality and stability, and thereby for the business success.  Read Full Blog at: https://www.cigniti.com/blog/what-is-the-role-of-qa-in-the-world-of-devops/
