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.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
