DESDEVOPS - A New Paradigm for Dev-Ops: Rethinking Transition of Quality from Dev to Production

The dev-ops era has taken the IT world by storm and it has redefined the way the code is deployed into production environments. There are many tools which facilitates the standardization of flow of the artifacts onto the nodes. These workflows are certainly a great way of managing what goes into which environments but there is a lack of consideration of design and planning in the way it is done leading to more frequent patches. Many a times we firefight to keep the environments stable but we tend to ignore the considerations of a new feature to be designed. These scenarios are common in most of the cloud applications so there is a need to design the workflows, the code, the acceptance criteria and the preventive conditioning. The methods which are effective for scenarios are explored in this paper and concepts are presented to work towards a dynamic development environment.
