Testwarez 2018 conference: Decoding the quality in DevOps culture

https://www.testwarez.pl/decoding-the-quality-in-devops-culture/

Up to 2017 and 2018 Puppet State of DevOps report, the quality comes from many factors, not only the technical ones, but also cultural, product and process. I would like to share the key findings I learn from reports and experience – on quality transformation founded by leadership, trust and agile practices implementation.

Some of issues to cover in discussion:

-What defines the DevOps culture?
-What quality factors REALLY matter on daily basis?
-How to assure the quality in DevOps culture environment?
-What metrics can be helpful in measuring performance?
-What types of tools supports the quality transformation?

8. Automation and DevOps
9. Knowledge sharing
10. Tooling examples • monitoring & alerting (New Relic?, DataDog?, Sentry?, …….) • logs (Kibana?, logz.io?, …?) • enterprise services by cloud vendors? (AWS, Microsoft, others?)
11. Metrics examples • Mean Time To Recover for failing tests • Mean Time To Recover from system failure • Lead Time for Change • branch lifetime • deployments per hour • errors rates per component • ????
