Practical Guide to Continuous Delivery, Rough Cuts, A

Description

Continuous Delivery continues to grow in popularity. It is an approach to software development that makes it possible to bring software to completion and market much faster and with substantially higher reliability than before. The basis for these improvements is a Continuous Delivery pipeline that automates the software roll-out to a large degree, and thus represents a reproducible, low-risk means for bringing out new releases. This book explains how a Continuous Delivery pipeline can be built in practice, and which technologies can be employed for optimally building it for your organization. The focus is not only on compiling and installing the software, but also on the different tests needed to ensure production of high software quality. In addition, the book demonstrates how Continuous Delivery affects the interaction between development and operations in the context of DevOps. Moreover, the book describes the effects of Continuous Delivery on software architecture.
