Enterprise transformation from legacy QA to DevOps

Enterprise transformation from legacy QA to DevOps

Introduction The DevOps market is predicted to
experience a growth rate of over 20 through this
year. By 2025, it is projected to grow by 12.4
billion at a CAGR of 24.9. This impending market
explosion can be attributed to the benefits that
organizations are reaping after implementing
DevOps. With 27 of their resources and time
dedicated to testing, companies that adopted
DevOps methodologies achieved 440x shorter time
from committing to release, 46x more frequent
code deployment, and 96x faster time to resolve
(TTR). While these benefits of DevOps adoption
seem lucrative, organizations report several chall
enges related to people, processes, technology,
and information.

• A decade ago, the failure/challenge rates were as
  high as 60-70. The overall project portfolio
  management consulting vendor spend is
  increasing against the increasing failure rates.
  McKinsey reported that 70 of all change
  initiatives fail. The top 10 reasons for failure
  are 
• Incomplete requirements 
• Lack of user involvement 
• Lack of resources 
• Unrealistic expectations 
• Lack of executive support 
• Changing requirements 
• Lack of planning 
• Didnt need it any longer 
• Lack of IT management 
• Technology illiteracy

50 of the time, DevOps implementation is
challenged by people issues. The secret to
overcoming these hurdles lies in the resolution
of these issues and changing the
behavior. Behemoths like Amazon, Etsy, Facebook,
Google, Netflix, and WalmartLabs are leading the
race because they know the secret. Etsy deploys
to its production servers 50 times a day while
Facebook releases 100 million lines of code
daily. Google runs over 500 million tests per day
inside its systems and Amazon deploys code every
11.7 seconds, on average. The unification of
software development, testing, and deployment
activities enables enterprises to improve and
evolve software products rapidly and
efficiently.  Scot Raymond Hanley, Head of QA at
Synovus, spoke at our recent Meetup in Atlanta
about transforming from legacy QA to DevOps in
the enterprises. This blog summarizes the key
takeaways from his in-depth presentation. Lets
