What is DevOps

DevOps

A recent global study, commissioned by CA Technologies,

which canvassed 1,300 senior IT decision-makers

worldwide, revealed respondents had seen a 17% to

23% improvement with regards to increased

earnings, shorter time-to-market, heightened

competitiveness and greater customer satisfaction

due to their DevOps initiatives.

Mode 1 vs Mode 2 Organizations

Two Types of Organizations: Mode 1 “linear” vs Mode 2 “non-linear”.

Is one better? Not necessarily.Does DevOps Apply to both? Yes!

Gartner

By 2020, 80% of the practices associated with DevOps

and Mode 2 “Agile” management will be adopted by

Mode 1 organizations.

DevOps is a Bridge

Key message: Automate as Much as Possible,

regardless of your star status!

One way to get there

Types of Test Automation

• Functional Testing

– Unit Tests

– Integration Tests

– Regression Tests

• API Testing

• Load Testing

• Database Compare

• Code Test Coverage

• Vendors

– Worksoft

• 5250/3270, SAP (Certify)

– SmartBear

• Web, Windows (TestComplete, LoadComplete, SOAPUI)

Best Practices to Get Started

• Choose a tool that can do end to end testing across

technologies

• Look at existing testing closely for actual coverage

– Considering using coverage tools

• Change the way you think about time

• Don’t try to “boil the ocean”. Pick your 25 top processes.
