There was much excitement in the air when the announcement that Docker had acquired SocketPlane. Not the least of which was emanating from my corner of the world, where DevOps for network (the whole network) is something you’ve noticed I pretty much live and breathe. The announcement was couched as an SDN (Software-Defined Networking) play […]
A Three Step Roadmap for Enterprise DevOps
The extremes of application release velocity are converging in the enterprise. Whereas Fortune 500 enterprises may have historically taken months to years for each release cycle, they are exploring new approaches from new age Internet technology firms that release new versions of an application several times in a day. According to a recent report on […]
Continuous Testing – Accelerated !
Except for cases where test duration is the point of the test, as indicated in my prior blog “Isn’t Continuous Testing a Longevity Test Anti-pattern?”, faster continuous testing cycles are preferred because failing early and often is a DevOps goal. There are multiple reasons for this, but it should be evident that faster tests reduce […]
Webinar: Application Release Automation at Scale
Organizations of all shapes and sizes depend on feature-packed application releases to keep end users productive and happy. As application complexity grows, managing deployments manually becomes more difficult and slows down the pace of business. Join Amy DeMartine, Sr. Analyst at Forrester research and Mike Hamrick, Software Configuration Management Lead at Lockheed Martin, servicing CMS […]
Building software quality into your Continuous Delivery pipeline
The modern software development landscape places a premium on speed. It’s good to be first to market. If you’re going to fail then you should fail fast. A rapidly evolving product can be shaped according to customer feedback, and fast turnaround allows you to stamp out defects and hone the software for your audience. A […]
Isn’t Continuous Testing a Longevity Test Anti-pattern?
Accordingly to Jim Coplien: “an anti-pattern is something that looks like a good idea, but which backfires badly when applied. “ In DevOps context, continuous testing is an attractive solution for the narrow context of testing specific software components quickly (in cycles measured in minutes or hours) but may be “bad” if the system that […]
DevOps & Continuous Change
A remark by a colleague while waiting for the coffee machine to complete its cycle started my train of thought. “Should we have multiple minor releases or just do a few major ones in a year?” In large organizations, due to many factors, the turnaround time for a single successful release is quite extensive; but […]
From QA to Continuous Testing
My prior blog “DevOps – It’s All About Continuous Testing” posits that QA testers don’t need to fear DevOps because continuous testing QA is a central part of DevOps infrastructures that are implemented according to best practices. That is not to say however that continuous testing is precisely the same as traditional QA testing or […]
Measure Twice. Automate Once.
“Shipping” code may start with the completion of development but it doesn’t end until after the operational delivery process ends. Just like any fulfillment process, shipping is actually just the kick off of an often arduous journey that ultimately delivers the app to the end user. Ship It Back in the old days (when they […]
Crowdsourced Software Testing
As a developer or technical architect, there is no better feeling than taking pride in giving a quality product or service result to your customers. Now, with computer trends going rapidly towards cloud services and mobile devices, regular company IT development teams are finding their testing capabilities more and more limiting. They are faced with […]
