<p style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:20px">Crucial Requirements:</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, Continuous Release, and Continuous Delivery are key DevOps enablers. Automated testing involves automated, CI-driven execution of whatever set of tests the team has accumulated. However, if one of these tests fails, what does that really mean: does it indicate a critical business risk, or just a violation of some naming standard that nobody is really committed to following anyway?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">You can start to create different test scenarios by bringing together all of the different types of testing that you require, and keeping a tight association with the application components to which these tests belong. This mapping is critical to understand which tests touch which code and more importantly understanding: when the code changes, which tests need to be re-run?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">With this new, “full-stack” approach to software delivery comes new opportunity for delay. DevOps was developed as a reaction to the long lead times required for infrastructure provisioning and integration with bureaucracy-laden ITIL processes. But what are these new sources of delay in the software development lifecycle?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">DevOps is not about product, it's about what you know and how your company is structured, how your team works together. So, do your developers, does your development team know exactly what actual production looks like? Can they tell you what production looks like?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">A competitive edge, excellent. Focus on continuous delivery. Move on to continuous deployment because that's going to provide your business value. But look at your individual business. Look at your environment and ask 'is that what gives us the competitive edge'?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">Essentially, DevOps is an operational approach that changes how organizations think about developing and deploying applications. But, for many organizations, this can be a bit vague. How do you introduce this sort of change?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">To put your organization on the path to DevOps, you need a clear understanding of your current practices for development and operations. Do your development processes use agile or waterfall methodologies, or both?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">DevOps is fundamentally about culture and about the quality of your application. And by quality the specific software engineering term of quality is meant, of different quality attributes. What matters to you?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">Do you have performance measures in place from the customer point of view? For instance: How many minutes has the service not responded within its SLA the number of affected customers within a given week?</span></span><br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:15px">DevOps needs both a strong definition and a set of standard success measures, but how does your organization measure “improved cooperation between development and operations” or “alignment”?</span></span><br />
