Chapter 2: Exploring Common Industry Delivery and Deployment Practices
The analogy in the last chapter followed a company through the beginning of its digital transformation from error-prone quarterly release parties to DevOps and continuous SDLC practices, with the newly hired CDO driving the initiative.
This chapter will continue the analogy of following the company through the transformation process as they research tools, processes, and practices that are common in the industry and how they will implement them.
In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:
- Common industry practices for deployment
- Common industry practices for delivery
- Common tools used for deployment and delivery
- Needs versus wants
- The automation test
