It aims to increase the frequency, quality, and speed of software delivery using automated procedures. DevOps is a culture transformation, not just a toolchain. DevOps emphasizes cooperation, automation, measurement, information sharing, and web service utilization. It positively impacts IT development, online services, and quality assurance. Before commencing the DevOps journey, it is necessary to understand DevOps principles, practices, tools, benefits, and underlying issues. Such vital parameters are critically reviewed in this article. This systematic review addresses gaps and recommendations related to DevOps, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of its culture and mindsets. The article presents an in-depth examination of DevOps, covering topics like architecture, components, tools, principles, and security challenges. It establishes a conceptual framework for practical implementation. Security has also been discussed in the paper, which is one of the difficult problems in DevOps implementations. The research findings aid in a better understanding of the phenomenon from a human factors perspective. The state-of-the-art discussion on several tools covering architectural and networking aspects in DevOps is included in this article to attract practitioners and researchers for DevOps adoption. Our analysis revealed three key themes related to DevOps culture and mindset: collaboration, continuous improvement, and automation. Moreover, DevOps is not immune to challenges. The proposed work presents the existing gaps and future research directions to address the same.","PeriodicalId":10464,"journal":{"name":"Cogent Engineering","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135048087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The construction industry is complex in its nature because it contains a large number of parties involved in the planning, execution, and monitoring of all types of civil works. Moreover, construction industries are always unique and heterogeneous; they will always encounter many unforeseen events that will negatively affect the construction everywhere, and the construction projects suffer from many problems and complex issues in the performance of building projects. Therefore, the study was focused on assessing the factors affecting the performance of building projects. The study would employ an integrated methodology of factor analysis and fuzzy AHP methods. First, the factor analysis is used to classify and reduce the input variables and their variable coefficients are determined. Second, fuzzy AHP is used to determine the preference weights of the input variables, and for ranking. To achieve this objective, data were collected from primary and secondary sources. This study used an integrated methodology as a data analysis method, and SPSS software version 23 and Microsoft Excel were used as analysis tools. The study pointed out that project location (0.083), changes in design (0.068), market fluctuation (0.067), financial difficulties (0.066), and size of the project (0.064) are identified as the most significant factors that affect the performance of building construction projects. Finally, it can be recommended that the practitioners take appropriate actions in improving the performance of building projects, and the methodologies can be implemented to demonstrate its practicality.","PeriodicalId":10464,"journal":{"name":"Cogent Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45089277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
