The document outlines the significance of continuous integration, continuous deployment, and automated testing within software development, emphasizing the need for automation to enhance productivity and agile practices. It discusses the benefits of frequently releasing updates and ensuring that testing becomes an integral part of the development workflow. Additionally, it highlights the growth potential of automated testing in improving business operations over the next five years.
Automation and Agile Development

- 3. “Setting-up automated deployment will take forever! It’ll steal time from developing the actual software Continuous Deployment: follows our tests to push our changes to either a staging or production system. This makes sure a version of your code is always accessible. Production Deployments: Orchestrate a complex production deployments of applications and configuration Self-Service: Grant different teams rights to “push” for different applications and environments Incremental Updates: Deploy only the changes components or missing incremental (patch) versions You can release more frequently: A single deployment performed by an automated deployment mechanism has a low overhead. A release process with a low overhead is one that can be repeated frequently. Frequent releases are desirable for many reasons, but the crux of the matter is that frequent releases promote truly “Agile Software Development”.
- 4. CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION Continuous Integration – The practice of frequently integrating one’s new or changed code with the existing code repository – Should occur frequently enough that no intervening window remains between commit and build, and such that no errors can arise without develops noticing them and correcting them immediately. Every step in our development workflow that can be automated should be. We need this automation to be able to focus all our time on building our product and providing value to our customers. Testing is one of those steps where automation is key. Automated testing allows us to implement new features quickly, as we can always prove that our most important features still work as we expect. This gives us the confidence to experiment. Continuously running our tests: It’s too easy for us as developers to say that a specific change won’t break something and later realize it did break the app. Often we are simply too lazy to really run all of our tests. This is where an automated system that runs or tests whenever we do any changes continuously can help us from falling into the trap.
- 6. Continuous Delivery can help large organizations become lean, agile and innovative. “Automation Test and Deployment” is a significant area of investment for 2013. Market awareness of highly automated testing is very high. Significant opportunity exists for additional growth in adoption of test automation. Testing is increasingly seen as an essential competency. Automated testing delivers business benefits in multiple areas for most companies
- 7. I expect to make big impact in the next five years in DevOps(Development Operations). The world of online technology is developing at breakneck speed. The changes necessary to thrive in today’s marketplace can be pricy, challenging and tricky to manage and this is where DevOpsGuys can help keep your business ahead of the game. Our Application Release Automation process operates Continuously. In other words it incorporates automation, frequent code releases and incorporates a pull-based architecture to keep your software delivery process up-to-date and running smoothly.
