Professional Tester, UK: Cognizant’s Vice President of Quality Engineering and Assurance Says DevOps and Intelligent Test Automation Position Businesses Well to Benefit from Effective IT Collaboration

“By emphasizing “people and culture”, DevOps instigates a cultural shift that requires a balance between the current market perception of an organization and how the business is envisioned in the future,” says Andreas Golze. Excerpts:
“As more and more companies are seeking to provide digital offerings as part of their product suites, the speed of deployment becomes a correspondingly important factor. Businesses born in the cloud era are automatic adopters of DevOps, a culture of practices that matches their DNA.
Older businesses, with their more siloed practices, have more legacy systems they depend upon, some of them extremely complex, isolated and bound to their own protocols. Coupled with long-defined development, operations and testing processes and practices, it can be difficult to meet the varied needs of modern enterprises.
Continuous Testing (CT) should be adopted without delay. It provides continuous feedback that drives software delivery through the entire development cycle.
Automated feedback at each checkpoint works like a feeding mechanism for the next process in the delivery chain, if the feedback says to move forward.
A well-implemented DevOps strategy complemented by an intelligent test automation framework puts businesses in a strong position to benefit from the effective collaboration between all of their information technology professionals.”
