Overview of this book

Digital transformation is the new paradigm in enterprises, but the big question remains: is the enterprise ready for transformation using native technology embedded in Agile/DevOps? With this book, you'll see how to design, implement, and integrate DevOps in the enterprise architecture while keeping the Ops team on board and remaining resilient. The focus of the book is not to introduce the hundreds of different tools that are available for implementing DevOps, but instead to show you how to create a successful DevOps architecture. This book provides an architectural overview of DevOps, AIOps, and DevSecOps – the three domains that drive and accelerate digital transformation. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions, this DevOps book will help you to successfully integrate DevOps into enterprise architecture. You'll learn what AIOps is and what value it can bring to an enterprise. Lastly, you will learn how to integrate security principles such as zero-trust and industry security frameworks into DevOps with DevSecOps. By the end of this DevOps book, you'll be able to develop robust DevOps architectures, know which toolsets you can use for your DevOps implementation, and have a deeper understanding of next-level DevOps by implementing Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).

Defining test strategies

In the previous chapter, we concluded that testing is a crucial step in the CI/CD process to ensure the quality of the build. In this section, we will learn how to define test strategies in DevOps.

First, DevOps requires a different approach to testing: it's part of the continuous deployment and integration of builds. The reason we should adopt DevOps is because enterprises want to speed up releases so that they can act much quicker to changing demands. For testing, this means that there is a shift from testing the end product to continuous testing, with a focus on reducing build and test times.

In other words, testing is no longer just a matter of detecting the faults in the end product; it has become part of the full life cycle of the build, collecting feedback during this whole cycle.

Testers should be members of the DevOps team. Their responsibility is to constantly collect feedback, measure the cycle time, and find ways to reduce these...
