In this paper, we provide a non‐Markovian Stochastic Petri Net (SPN) model for DevOps workflow specification, and we determine how business processes are carried out. After describing our model semantics, we show how general properties related to liveness and safety can be checked. After that, we provide several extensions on SPNs (SPN) the notation and expressivity to check some specific properties related to actors' (Developers and Operators) availability, interactions between the actors, and execution failures detection linked to the DevOps steps. Next, we validate the proposed model relevance with MATLAB simulation through a specific DevOps case study. Finally, we propose a truncated density function to anticipate the delays related to the DevOps business process overall steps.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
