About this title

Synopsis

A step-by-step guide to developing high-quality, secure, and agile software using continuous testing and feedback strategies and tools

Key Features:

- Gain insights from real-world use cases and experiences of an IEEE Outstanding Engineer and DevOps consultant

- Implement best practices for continuous testing strategies and tools, test designs, environments, results, and metrics

- Leverage AI/ML, implementation patterns, and performance measurement during software development

Book Description:

Organizations struggle to integrate and execute continuous testing, quality, security, and feedback practices into their DevOps, DevSecOps, and SRE approaches to achieve successful digital transformations. This book addresses these challenges by embedding these critical practices into your software development lifecycle.

Beginning with the foundational concepts, the book progresses to practical applications, helping you understand why these practices are crucial in today's fast-paced software development landscape. You'll discover continuous strategies to avoid the common pitfalls and streamline the quality, security, and feedback mechanisms within software development processes. You'll explore planning, discovery, and benchmarking through systematic engineering approaches, tailored to organizational needs. You'll learn how to select toolchains, integrating AI/ML for resilience, and implement real-world case studies to achieve operational excellence. You'll learn how to create strategic roadmaps, aligned with digital transformation goals, and measure outcomes recognized by DORA. You'll explore emerging trends that are reshaping continuous practices in software development.

By the end of this book, you'll have the knowledge and skills to drive continuous improvement across the software development lifecycle.

What You Will Learn:

- Ensure continuous testing, quality, security, and feedback in DevOps, DevSecOps, and SRE practices

- Apply capability maturity models, set goals, conduct discoveries, and set benchmarks for digital transformations
