From Artisanal to Factory: The IT Pendulum is Swinging Back
Splunk Vice President of IT Markets and Chief Technology Advocate Andi Mann sees DevOps moving from an artisanal approach to an IT factory. This represents a reversal: Historically, developers operated in a factory-like environment, passing chunks of work down the line, but that caused problems because “different managers owned different sections of the production line.” […]
Getting the Most Out of QA in Complex Environments
We live in a world in which software is increasingly dominant. Not only do we rely ever more on software, but its complexity is becoming even greater. And with increased complexity, bugs are more likely to be intermittent, making failures difficult to reproduce. Sometimes this non-determinism results in failures never getting fixed. Any unfixed bug […]
The Tester: Saving Your Soul in a DevOps World

Release Automation: Delivering the Big Quality Payoff
Have you ever gone down the path of testing the latest release of an application only to find out that you had the wrong version? Maybe you accidentally grabbed the wrong build or you didn’t have the correct configuration file for the environment you were testing against—or your database wasn’t updated correctly, or the script […]
How Developers Can Spend More Time Coding, Less Time Fixing
I don’t think anyone became a developer because they loved to spend their time debugging. As frustrating as it may be, making sure your build works is critical—and this burden is now falling on developers. If your organization wants to deliver highly rated apps faster, building quality into the development cycle is imperative. Even though […]
What Happens Post-Deployment: The Rotating Roster
DevOps has become that celebrity who’s always the talk of the town but is largely misunderstood. It’s even quoted in the wrong context. A few days back, while speaking at a conference, I was interacting with audience and one of the attendees said DevOps is like the backbone of Agile. I think that’s an excellent […]

Every developer shares the same dream: to write a piece of code or app that changes everything.
