It's no secret that the tech workforce market is starving for DevOps

It's no secret that the tech workforce market is starving for DevOps

DevOps is a combination of development and operations that requires communication, collaboration, integration and automation across different parts of the organization.

It's no secret that the tech workforce market is starving for DevOps. (Keep in mind that DevOps is not a job title, it's a mindset.) The cloud, BigData and modern software delivery standards all produce the need for professionals who know how to get those complicated systems built, deployed and running. The demand keeps growing and the supply just doesn't seem to catch up. More and more organisations realise they need to bring "DevOps guys" on board.
DevOps by itself will not create the right culture in organisations that have a long history of traditional structures and processes. It will take strong and active leadership to create the culture that will enable DevOps to flourish and produce positive results.

Initial focus needs to be on the people as the old culture of silos and finger pointing needs to end. This starts with encouraging genuine communication, cooperation and collaboration. The development processes will be impacted and will need to be re-structured to optimise DevOps.
Finally, new technology will need to be evaluated while staff are trained to take full advantage of DevOps. Finding the balance between these 3 pillars will be a challenge but starting with people is critical. If the team does not buy into the process, the rest won’t matter.

DevOps plays a vital role in Mobile apps testing. The nature of mobile applications is very complex due to its various OS, vendors, application types, etc. To add to its woes there is huge customer base wanting to have a simple interface with the applications working efficiently in a secure environment on their mobiles.
In order to provide that kind of security, efficiency, accuracy and reliability the mobile applications have to be tested thoroughly on robustness, performance and functionality under the supervision of the developers, the QA people and the operation guys. 
The application needs to be tested using the right tools, processes and infrastructure in order to provide a user friendly performance to the users.

Continuous Delivery in Mobile App helps release apps and its incremental features as soon as these are developed or as needed. To support this, DevOps Test Automation can develop testing-as-a-service that allows testing the app or selective features as needed. This helps continuously delivering apps.
The DevOps approach helps automating mobile apps testing by continuously integrating the development and testing thus minimizing human interventions in execution and verification of the test scripts. The mobile environment is very dynamic therefore the DevOps approach continuously looks for the different DevOps tools to be used for the testing the apps on various OS. DevOps, thus looks for the seamless integration of tools.

A key tenant of DevOps is continuous feedback loop. Feedback loops are helpful if they are done at short intervals. This supports the philosophy of Continuous Delivery & Integration. If an entire mobile app is testing at the end of development, feedback loop is extended loses the meaning.

DevOps strongly advocates extensive and transparent communication. DevOps helps in automating communication by way of feedback among Mobile app development team, testing team and business side of the enterprise.

DevOps can help in developing approach to conduct simulation based testing that works on learning principle. 
Depending on the tool used, we can develop testing suites that can work like exploratory Testing.
DevOps also encourages the agile methodologies to make the testing more efficient.

The manner in which the DevOps methodology is frequently misused has led to some unintended negative consequences. Done correctly, DevOps can have a staggering positive change in a company’s software development lifecycle. 
But done incorrectly, as it often is, it can have the opposite effect. Misused DevOps methodology can lead to developer burn out, undue stress on QA professionals, and shoddy customer-facing products. 
The scariest part for those of us in QA is the misguided notion that the DevOps methodology will eliminate the need for dedicated QA.
A successful DevOps approach will flip this mindset and get everyone on the same team, pulling in a common direction. DevOps can be the bridge builder that increases not only communications and collaboration but also sensitivity and passion for creating great product on time and on budget.
