Quality for DevOps Teams

Managing quality for DevOps teams is important.
‘Deliver business value with the right quality at speed’. That’s what organizations ask of their IT teams. To achieve this, IT people need to work closely together. Cross-functional teams of business analysts, developers, testers, operations people, and other involved areas of expertise, join forces to work towards business objectives. Collaboration is key. Collaboration between people that have a shared responsibility and pick up the tasks that need to be done, based on competences and roles, no longer worrying about official functions.
The DevOps culture is the enabler for this way of high-performance IT delivery, using an automated CI/CD pipeline to deliver at speed. But how do you deliver value with the right quality using DevOps? Our new book “Quality for DevOps teams”, and the TMAP body of knowledge on the website www.tmap.net, enable teams to implement quality engineering practices using various approaches, practical examples and concise explanations. We trust that teams will benefit from this and enhance their collaboration to deliver value to their stakeholders.
Key Takeaways:
- Deliver business value with the right quality at speed
- Incorporate quality engineering in the cross-functional teams
- Automate everything – as long as it is useful
