Enhancing Lean Software Development by using Devops Practices

Abstract

Abstract-Competition between companies has made a great pressure to produce new features continuously as fast as possible, subsequently successful software companies needs to learn more about customers and get new features out to them more rapidly. Lean software development cannot integrate between development and operation teams. DevOps enables this merge between them and creates operational parts as one part of the development process and made it up to date during the development phase, so reduced errors during the deployment. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how one can use devOps practices to improve the performance of lean software development production process and introduce a new framework that merge lean and devOps process. The research has been evaluated on a sample of 2 departments in Faculty of Commerce at Helwan University. The results of this work have led to reduce the response delivery time for customers and rapid feedback provides accurate expectations for customer needs that lead to lower levels of deployment pains and lower change fail rates.

Comprehensive Analysis of DevOps: Integration, Automation, Collaboration, and Continuous Delivery

“…Third, it focuses on early problem identification and prompt notification to development teams, creating a feedback loop for continuous customer learning through monitoring and improving software-driven innovation. In this way, DevOps optimizes Lean software development, encompassing the entire lifecycle from development to operations environments, by identifying sources of waste and applying DevOps techniques to reduce and rectify them (Farid et al, 2017). Floris Erich and fellow researchers investigate DevOps as a theoretical approach aimed at bridging the gap between information system development and operations.…”

A Lean Service Conceptual Model for Digital Transformation in the Competitive Service Industry

“…To identify the "Muda" or waste in lean service, a review of the literature of previous studies is performed. Waste is defined as any activity that increases the cost, but does not add any value from the customers" perspective [26], [37], [38]. Besides that, lean is about improving quality to eliminate waste [15].…”

“…DevOps provides platform for both development and operation teams to work collaboratively to develop software products. DevOps facilities cross functional shared responsibilities and trust between both types of development and operation teams [3]. DevOps substantially extends the continuous development goals of the agile movement by supporting automation of continuous integration and release processes [4,5].…”
