DevOps Coaching

Our DevOps Coaching helps you to improves your personal and team skills to empower your business. Agile is an advantage and key to success.
Computers are far better than people at doing tedious, repetitive tasks; humans can’t avoid losing interest and making mistakes.
Let’s talk and improve automations, integrations and new practices for your organization.

DevOps Coaching improves your Business Processes and Business Culture

A DevOps Coaching for software development and operation, automating Quality Assurance and Deployment processes, greatly empowers your organization by allowing the people to do what they do well, and the computers to do what they do better, freeing the people’s time from doing tasks they are bad at by replacing them with a better process and enabling them to do other high value tasks not suited to Automation.

DevOps Coaching helps your Organization with

  • Building a scaleable, fast automated test execution environment
  • Building a complete Test Automation suite.
    If you have software already but don’t have any tests, building them all from scratch can be a lot of work
  • Adapting your processes to leverage the tools

True agile advantages for your Business and process

  • Lower development costs (less time required testing and fixing bugs)
  • Ability to deliver new features quickly from scratch to production
  • Broad organizational visibility on software development status, delivery and priority of new features, what areas are causing test failures, et al 
  • Less software bugs shipped to customers

Our Coaches come on site to work with your teams already building and implementing a DevOps culture to identify the difficulties and support them, be it with the development team actually implementing the DevOps infrastructure and software, or the rest of the organization leveraging the transparency DevOps technologies provides to interact with the development team in a better fashion.

reduced cost

Automated Testing drastically reduces development time and cost by immediately finding errors in software code as they are written. Continuous Integration ensures that changes to software code made by different developers do not create errors, requiring the engineers to ensure that their code is compatible with all the latest changes from other developers before it can be added to the central repository.

Improved software quality

Less defects shipped to customers, improved reputation:
Automated Testing ensures, depending to the extent of the quality of the testing, that software being developed fulfills its functional requirements, and that enhancements to the software do not break existing requirements. In combination with manual testing, this helps ensure that the software being developed fulfills the requirements of its users and does not cause failures, which can be highly costly both in the failure of the service provided to the user and to the reputation of the software developers, and their potential for future revenue from customers who are less likely to depend on their software to run their business.

Elimination of costly deployment failures

Automated Deployment is often required for Automated Testing. Often the software must be built and deployed to be tested, but serves a less used but equally important function in deploying software to production. Once the deployment of software has been implemented via an automated program, when it must be rolled out from testing to actual use the same code can be leveraged to ensure a smooth and failure free delivery of software upgrades, replacing the need for long weekends spent manually deploying and upgrading software and catastrophic failures f.e see how different UK banks customers‘ accounts stopped working and they were unable to get money or pay their mortgages. 

Business Leadership

The ability to deliver new software with little risk of functional or deployment failure enables and encourages far more frequent deployments, delivering new features to customers at a much higher rate. This allows your business to develop and deploy new software features at a much higher rate than previously possible, responding quickly to changes in market conditions and being able to test different software systems quickly and giving you a competitive edge against your competitors who are not able to innovate at such a high rate or enabling you to survive against your competitors who are innovative.

Reduced operational risk

Taken together, the Test Automation and Deployment Automation techniques fundamental to DevOps significantly eliminate costly Operational Risk by strongly reducing the potential for human error in writing and deploying software code by replacing manual processes with software code. While humans are not able to easily write problem free software, they are able to write software to test their software more effectively than testing it manually; as once Test Automation software is written and tested, it can be run continuously by computers to test the software under production and a computer is better at mundane, repetitive tasks than a person who is likely to not notice a problem that exists.

Let’s talk about your DevOps project

DevOps Component Systems

Automated Testing

For standardized regression testing, Automated Testing replaces repetitive, tedious and error prone manual testing with a piece of software, replacing the cost of human hours with the cost of IT infrastructure and electricity.

Automated Deployment

For some types of software, such as a Web application, to be tested or used, it must first be deployed. This means you can not run your Automated Tests in Continuous Integration unless the latest version of the code can be Automatically Deployed. Much as Automated Testing replaced manual testing procedures with software code, Automated Deployment consists of software scripts which perform all the required tests to build and deploy the latest version of the software code. These Automated Deployment scripts can also of course be used to deploy the software into production, replacing error prone manual processes with the click of a button, and enabling easy disaster recovery.

Continuous Deployment

A fully automated system can, if desired, deliver properly tested code directly into production. Known as Continuous Deployment, this strategy is entirely dependent on Test Automation for quality control, and not without risk, but the benefit can outweigh the risk - depending on the impact of failure.

Continuous Integration

Continuous Integration runs the Automated Tests for every change to the software code, ensuring that changes made by one developer don't cause problems with changes made by another, and that developers have not accidentally broken the system. Continuous Integration also provides a portal for the whole organization to see how well the software development is coming, what kinds of tests are failing, and in general communicate a great deal of knowledge about the state of the development project without needing time from the development team.

Infrastructure as Code

To run your software you need a system to deploy it to. While traditionally computers were purchased and maintained and systems were directly deployed to the Operating System on the computer hardware, "bare-metal", often today software simulations of computers like Virtual Machines are used to efficiently share computing resources, either directly on purchased computer hardware or by renting resources on the internet like Cloud Computing. The processes to create the Virtual Machine resources necessary to run your software can be automated via Infrastructure as Code programs, which automatically create the system resources necessary for deployment before the Automated Deployment scripts. This enables both easy production deployment upgrades and disaster recovery and Automated Testing / Continuous Integration.
