The global software development industry is evolving at a fast pace. Before now, development and operations teams often worked in silos, leading to miscommunication, misaligned goals and delays in product deployment and delivery.

However, as advancements in the technology sector widen, software developers are now looking for methods to deliver quality products very fast and smarter to their customer base.

One of the most effective ways to break down these barriers to collaboration and communication between development (Dev) and IT operation (Ops) teams is through DevOps practices.

Franklin Okeke, writing for TechRepublic Premium, looks into everything about DevOps practices and the benefits that come with adopting them in your software development processes.

DEVOPS PRACTICES

There are many ways organizations in the software development sector can bridge the gap between the Dev and Ops teams. Here are some popular practices your organization can adopt.

Continuous integration and continuous delivery

CI/CD facilitates the shipping of software faster and more efficiently to the market. It allows for continuous delivery of code into production and ensures a steady flow of new features and bug fixes via the best delivery channel.

A good example of how the CI/CD pipeline works is GitHub. This platform allows automation of building, testing and deploying of applications by developers. With GitHub, developers can create customized workflows which can be triggered by events such as pull requests or code pushes.

Organizations can reduce the risk of errors when they integrate the CI/CD pipeline. Automating builds and tests ensures that bugs are caught early enough and fixed promptly, thereby maintaining high-quality software.
