Agile, DevOps & Testing: The Business Case

Since the Agile Manifesto in 2001, almost every business sector has been ‘doing Agile’ in some form or another. But now, with the uncertainty in the current work world, organisations have changed and investigated how to adopt and use new agile practices and have also examined the practices of others and seen the values that could be adapted to suit the business aspect.’

In the last decade, DevOps practitioners, too have changed their focus from development and built their operational capabilities and become customer-facing with emphasis on actual business value and revenue.’

Testers have always been at the coal face of ensuring that ‘stuff works as it should’. Is there anything different in the actual testing of new digital products, new interfaces with clients which must always provide the optimum user experience?’

Agile, DevOps and Testing have shared environments that facilitate working together. Spurred by greater demand for excellence, these methods are more than simply adopting new tools and processes. They are working together to build transparent processes with an aim to meet the customers’ expectations and generate revenue.’
