To achieve faster releases and improve quality, organizations need to adopt a culture of automation across Dev, QA, and Ops teams. This requires balancing speed and quality, committing to automation, and leveraging tools like Jenkins, CloudFormation, Spinnaker, and AWS CodePipeline. Automation can help reduce manual errors, provide feedback at every step of the process, and bring speed that would not be possible with human intervention. By thinking about automation in terms of a trigger-and-response model, teams can create a robust pipeline that supports high-quality apps shipped faster. A culture of automation across all teams is critical to achieving the promise of DevOps, which transforms testing efforts and leads to better quality apps.
