An amalgamation of two words; Development and Operations, DevOps is a set of practices that blends software development and IT operations with an aim to provide quality product delivery. It also shortens the system development life cycle which enables a smooth yet a continuous workflow.

How DevOps deliver a quality software product?

The main goal of this mega dynamic is to create ease and convenience in all the phases of software development. It does so by;

1. Increasing deployment frequency

2. Lower the failure rate of new releases

3. Quick response and recovery time for fixes and sudden application crashes

DevOps Lifecycle- The 6 Major C’s

This dynamic’s lifecycle also has 6 important C’s like the 5 C’s of Communication. These 6 C’s define the whole process, explaining each step in detail.

1. Continuous planning

Just like every mega procedure, planning lies at the core of this mega dynamic. Planning enables exceptional product delivery through its continuous stream of identifying root causes. Furthermore, it allows the teams to measure progress and conduct tests and trials. As a result, they can easily adapt to innovations to come up with better results each time.

2. Collaboration in DevOps

Up next in the 6 major C’s is collaboration. The whole procedure is the synergized working of Development and operations departments which is only possible because of effective collaboration. Collaboration enables efficacy in business development, test teams, cross-platform workings and lifecycle management. This means that different teams that are scattered across different time zones are able to stay connected to assure quality software delivery.

Communication is the key to success in this regard and a solid collaboration among all the departments ensure better future outcomes.

3. Continuous testing

A software is incomplete without testing and trials. Therefore, continuous planning is a crucial part of the 6 C’s. It reduces the testing cost and helps preventing future issues and bugs in system deployments and updating. Testing also enables seamless integration of test environments into phases of SDLC. This ensures secure work set up and less chances of breakdowns and bugs.

4. Continuous release & deployment

Continuous release and deployment is the next main step of 6 C’s because it allows automation of key processes in SDLC. This in turn, enables lesser manual processes, minimal rework and reduced wait time for resources. It also keeps the deployment and release cycle going smoothly with an enhanced level of quality and transparency.

5. Continuous Monitoring

Another strong factor to reducing overall project costs and inducing strategic planning in it is constant monitoring. Continuous monitoring and check allow the teams to detect errors timely and propose authentic solutions. Furthermore, it enables convenient yet enhanced large-scale reporting if the project requires so. This means that every detail is kept under check to ensure a quality project delivery and a systemized operational flow.

6. Continuous Optimization

The last step in this cycle is continuous optimization. Optimization stands for enabling improved development by incorporating existing technology. This means that new age innovation and technology is systematically integrated within existing procedures to ensure quality product delivery.
It also means that the loop of development and operations is flexible to new practices for better outcomes.
