DevOps is the Mount Olympus of the new software delivery civilization: an advanced stage of software delivery where multi-skilled and diverse professionals cocreate software through a reasonable degree of organization (agile mindset, creation pipeline, quality gates, and integrated tools) and comfort (measurement, accelerators, automation, processes efficiency, traceability,…) and can think about things like user experience and quality.
In the Mount Olympus of DevOps, Quality Assurance is a must and it may adopt many forms (functional, performance, security, usability…) at different levels of power (unit, integration, end-to-end…). This is why we emphasize it as Dev(QA)Ops with the main objective: the purpose is to deliver fast and with higher levels of quality, understanding quality as everything that may prevent defects when the software is delivered, from the different perspectives that a user may perceive.
And in the Mount Olympus of Dev(QA)Ops we have also the Twelve Olympians:
The myth needs to inspire us to make it real. And Dev(QA)Ops is now an evolving reality which needs to be progressively applied as stated in the new World Quality Report Edition (*) Let’s be inspired and let’s make it happen through our Sogeti pragmatic approach. The era of the Dev(QA)Ops civilization is here.
