Survey Says:

Lack of alignment between IT and business goals

Complexity of languages, tools, and platforms

Poorly integrated teams across the application lifecycle

Lack of automated and scalable testing methods

High cost of setting up and maintaining test environments

Application release process is still error-prone and slow

Lack of centralized incident management and monitoring

Slow or unresponsive to customer feedback

Manage application deployment across dev, test, and production spanning multiple clouds

Key Points:• Enable full stack deployments (OS, patterns

and applications) across hybrid cloud applications

• Establish common toolchain framework with plug points to support continuous delivery

The 5 C’s of DevOps

Continuous IntegrationCode changes are merged with the mainline multiple times per day. Unit testing and TDD make up the core of CI

Continuous Delivery Develop code in short cycles and release often

Continuous Testing Code is continually tested to ensure quality before releasing

Continuous Feedback Determine the current state of the project

Continuous Monitoring Real-time status of the application


CI/CD/CT Details

• UCB/UCD has empowered us to merge continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous testing into ONE WORKFLOW

• With our integrated commit hooks, all a developer has to do to trigger the CI process is check in code to the SCM. That’s it!

Our DevOps workflow integrates:• Agile Project Management• Source Code Management• Database Forecasting Automation• Database Deployment Automation• Build Automation• Deployment Automation• Unit Testing• Code Coverage• Static Code Analysis• Technical Debt Measurement• Dynamically Activated Cloud-based

Testing Environments• Integrated & Automated

Environment Provisioning• Functional Test Automation• Regression Test Automation• Veracode Integration
