BizDevOps and the Role of S-BPM

Abstract

Recently discussed software development approaches are characterized by agility. New increments of software are developed in relatively short cycles. While previously new versions of software were delivered after several months, nowadays this happens sometimes daily. Tool chains that ensure quality attributes are needed for this purpose. They are classified as DevOps tools. The paper discusses an even broader approach that includes business process modelling activities. It can be characterized with the term BizDevOps. It has a lot of similarities with the idea of "Continuous Software Engineering". Additionally, it is discussed how subject-oriented modelling by S-BPM or task models can be used in this context. The domain specific language DSL-CoTaL is demonstrated as candidate for communications with domain experts.
