Abstract

In the modern world of software development, there is a growing trend that incorporates DevOps practice into agile software development methodology as a critical factor in improving software delivery processes. Moreover, this paper presents the DevOps in Agile (DOA) model as a possible solution for unification between development and operational teams and as a way to shorten the cycle time and increase the quality of software products. Thus, the DOA model also highlights communication, integration, and automation as key success factor. This model aims to combine the best of both the Agile concept and the DevOps to create a model that is flexible enough to adapt to market forces while at the same time meeting high standards of software quality. The paper identifies the issue of culture and tool choice as key themes and discusses how they may relate to the integration of these methodologies, then offers a systematic process by which organizations may successfully implement the DOA model.
