The Role of DevOps in Accelerating Time-to-Market

Page history last edited by Scalex Technologies 4 years, 3 months ago

Nowadays, businesses have taken up an agile approach to adapting to the latest trends and developments. There was a time when a business was taken up by development and releasing a product only. DevOps, also known as Development Operations, has made taking up this agile approach a lot easier than ever. 

 

One of its main contributions lies in the fact that it has brought the operations and development teams to work together, leading to faster turnaround time. With that being said, here’s delving deeper into the role of DevOps in accelerating time-to-market.

 

The button that does it all

 

DevOps makes sure that the team invests more time in offering quality work to the customers. After all, the team no longer has to spend unnecessary time figuring out machine configuration and code integration if automatic testing and integration techniques are adapted. Both of these tasks can be carried out with the press of a button on the self-service portal.

 

The companies that have taken to DevOps have seen their efficiency increase significantly in a shorter time. This is because it reduces the work pressure of the IT team. They get to focus on more challenging and crucial tasks to add more value to their work.

 

The speed factor at work

 

The development team has to work with the IT at the time of building software to get it tested. In this situation, the IT team either creates a completely new environment to test out the latest product, or it upgrades its applications and interfaces to test the upgraded version of an already existing product. 

 

When the tests are completed, the next step for the development team is to deploy the codes to the software. You can well understand how time-consuming this process can be.

 

DevOps teams come in like a blessing in disguise in situations like this. They enable automated testing, which helps the web application developers to take advantage of instant feedback. The computerized integration lets the companies edit codebase faster than ever. Thus, the companies get to release updates software faster, with new and improved features.

 

Keeping future issues in perspective

 

In most of the cases, after the software or product gets released, it’s time for the developers to leave it behind and move on to something else simply. The future problems are not something they worry about because that is all left to the IT operations team. While using DevOps makes sure that the developers also stay involved in the procedure of software development by keeping a watch on the new updates and features. It also helps in improving the coding quality.

 

Developers get to work on small codes and track bugs quickly when there is a failure in the product. There is no scope for human errors because automation helps in exposing things that would have remained hidden otherwise.

 

The role that DevOps plays in accelerating the time-to-market is what makes it a necessity rather than a luxury. And, in the present situation, it can only be upgraded but never replaced.
