DevOps is a model used name a way of cooperation during software development. During an event of MasteryCamp series in Amsterdam, Atlassian brand representatives disclosed what is cloaked behind this name and why clients should be encouraged to implement DevOps solutions into their business environments. Magdalena Kwaczyńska, Business Analyst from TT PSC Atlassian Department and Daniel Chwaszczewski, DevOps Coordinator were both participants of the event. As DevOps approach starts to be a standard of software projects leading, I’ll do my best to show its major assumptions.
“DevOps” is from a linguistic point of view a portmanteau (aka contamination) – a new word created of merging two already existing ones: “development” and “operations”. This also reflects a general idea behind it. Software developers and the rest of teams are directly involved in a process leading to creation something new out of existing resources. Unlike in recently used methodology of software development in regards to mutual cooperation, where designers where physically and metaphorically separated from the rest of departments in a company, now all involved parties need strict cooperation. Previously, first group was responsible entirely for product enhancement by code creation, support team was delegated to troubleshooting, quality assurance (software testers) were checking stability of a planned to be released product and rest of the crew were dealing with issues like package building, or deploying apps on dedicated environments. It had happened so often that communication was limited only to bug reporting and chasing deadlines. Involved parties were because of that very often conflicted with each other, which further resulted in lack of understanding and other growing misunderstandings.
Atlassian, both via its products, trainings for its partners and materials published on its own communication channels tries to convince that TEAMWORK is definitely BETTER.
