Summary

The DevOps philosophy aims to increase speed and efficiency in software development by aligning development and operations teams around processes for continuous integration, delivery, and testing. This approach can help organizations ship updates faster, keep customers happy, and increase revenue, while also providing benefits such as increased collaboration, reduced risk, and continuous feedback. However, DevOps fits into widely used waterfall- and agile-style development methodologies, and its application to agile testing involves implementing continuous integration and delivery practices that enable small but frequent software updates, with the goal of increasing speed and quality signals through a continuous feedback loop. By prioritizing automation and aligning teams around CI/CD processes and best practices, organizations can take a gradual approach to transitioning from waterfall-style development to an agile, DevOps-centered testing strategy.
