The future of DevOps in software development

Image
True DevOps success means being able to extend initial project results to other critical application pipelines throughout the enterprise. Here are five ways to navigate the obstacles. Call it the DevOps disconnect. Excitement about DevOps keeps rising, with one  report  even suggesting that the number of companies that have adopted DevOps or plan to do so has surpassed 90%. And the DevOps tools market is expected to grow to over $10 billion by 2023. At the same time, Gartner  predicts  that through 2022, 75% of DevOps initiatives will fail to meet expectations due to issues around organizational learning and change. By unifying development and operations end to end, DevOps promises to increase companies’ speed and agility in software delivery as they grow their digital initiatives, without sacrificing quality. Yet while many organizations are finding success with DevOps pilot projects, they’ve struggled to scale those results further in the enterprise. S...

New Barriers to faster growing Software Development

Software delivery speed continues to accelerate. Toward that end, software teams have adopted Agile, DevOps and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) to speed release cycles. Meanwhile, tools throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC) have been enabling more automation and providing more intelligence. Piece by piece, each phase of the SDLC is being optimized, albeit at different rates in different organizations. However, as specific bottlenecks are solved, new ones take their place. A couple of development-related issues that may be holding software delivery up are traditional feature flagging and hand-coding. Traditional feature flagging vs. feature experimentation The purpose of feature flagging and feature experimentation platforms is roughly the same: speed the delivery of value. Feature flagging allows features to be turned on and off. For example, a developer can deploy code and turn a feature flag on or off to test it with a user base, such as alp...

Why software development & testing practices are essential

    Software development in 2019 Approximately 29%  of software development companies have no plans to switch their existing programming language. Companies are certainly driving themselves to stability in niche expertise. It can be easily adjudged that the core objective of a majority of businesses to create USPs around software development quality standards. But there is a twist. Despite extensively adapted data-driven approach, approximately  27% of companies  do not use any credible software development performance metrics. It certainly gives rise to the opportunity of enhancing software performance with the best software development and testing practices. Despite a significant shift in focus towards mobile apps, it is essential to understand that the core of every product idea will always reside within the web-based resources and websites. Ultimately, they will enhance your brand reputation.  Software development and testing techniqu...
