We believe that the identified best practices, their categorization and fuzzy-AHP based framework will help industry experts to revise and improve their strategies to make the DevOps process sustainable. Finally, the fuzzy-AHP technique was applied to prioritize the best practices concerning to the significance for DevOps process. Next, a questionnaire survey study was conducted to receive insight from industry practitioners for the identified best practice. To attain the study aims, firstly, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify DevOps best practices reported in the literature.
This study aims to develop a prioritization-based framework of the DevOps best practices based on evidence collected from industry experts. Software organizations face several barriers while adopting DevOps practices as the integration of development and operation teams requires merger of different processes, tools, and skill sets. In addition, the practices explicitly proposed for DevOps have been presented as well as the relation to other software development methods.ĭevOps (development and operations) is a set of collaborative practices that automate delivery of new software updates with the aim to reduce the development life cycle and produce quality software products. Papers in some cases stated a combination of a definition, practices, and relations to other methods, the total number of primary studies was 49.Ĭonclusion: We proposed a definition for DevOps which may overcome inconsistencies over the various existing definitions of individual research studies. Result: 44 studies have been selected that report a definition of DevOps, 15 studies explicitly stating DevOps practices, and 15 studies stating how DevOps is related to other existing methods. Method: A systematic mapping study was conducted that used six electronic databases: IEEE, ACM, Inspec, Scopus, Wiley Online Library and Web of Science.
Objective:This study aims to characterize DevOps by exploring central components of DevOps definitions reported in the literature, specifying practices explicitly proposed for DevOps and investigating the similarities and differences between DevOps and other existing methods in software engineering. Consequently, definitions of DevOps often only represent a part that is relevant to the concept. Given that DevOps is a new term and novel concept recently introduced, no common understanding of what it entails has been achieved yet. Context: DevOps, the combination of Development and Operations, is a new way of thinking in the software engineering domain that recently received much attention.
