Abstract

In literature is frequently mentioned that software quality is a consequence of implementing DevOps in organizations. Although some articles point out that DevOps has a positive influence on product quality, there is little information on the activities or recommended practices that have a direct influence on it. The objective of this work in progress is to identify DevOps activities that have an impact on software quality. To achieve this, we conducted an analysis in the literature to find the activities that are directly related to software quality. Then, we analyzed case studies of DevOps implementations to explore the validity of the selected activities. As a result, we identified the most common activities are monitoring system log files, automating tests, ensuring high coverage in automated tests, and implementing a continuous deployment strategy. The activities that appear less frequently are ensuring that team members have the skills needed and having development progress metrics. These results allow us to continue to work in identifying the mechanisms to improve the software quality in DevOps settings.

在DevOps环境中识别提高软件质量的活动

在文献中经常提到软件质量是在组织中实现DevOps的结果。尽管一些文章指出DevOps对产品质量有积极的影响，但很少有关于对其有直接影响的活动或推荐实践的信息。正在进行的这项工作的目标是确定对软件质量有影响的DevOps活动。为了实现这一点，我们在文献中进行了分析，以找到与软件质量直接相关的活动。然后，我们分析了DevOps实现的案例研究，以探索所选活动的有效性。因此，我们确定了最常见的活动是监视系统日志文件、自动化测试、确保自动化测试的高覆盖率，以及实现持续部署策略。出现频率较低的活动是确保团队成员拥有所需的技能并拥有开发进度指标。这些结果使我们能够继续识别改进DevOps设置中的软件质量的机制。
