DevOps
Anyone out there practicing DevOps?
Forum Discussion
Good feedback.
I can't find anything you've said to argue with - especially the view company's have towards generalizations; testing, dev, support. I've found silos at every company I've worked. And there's a reason. The software is generally so complex that everyone can't know everything.
I spoke with a recruiter recently and got the impression he was guiding me in the DevOps direction because he has a client with a vacancy which uses some of the DevOps buzzwords.
Figured I'd throw my 2 cents in here. My husband has a devops role, but at his company, this simply means he is knowledgeable about both operations (servers, networking, sysadmin stuff) and development. He works between those 2 teams, helping coordinate, avoid blame wars, and get problems fixed that need a multi-team approach. Devops doesn't really relate to testing, from what I can tell. It is the new "in" term, though, and as such probably means different things to different people. I feel like the intent was to have people who had skills in 2 areas, who could tackle problems that related to both areas with a more well-rounded perspective.
OK... I'm going to give a Kudos to the original poster but, can I say, that this entire thread is an excellent thread talking about buzzwords, about "trends" in development and testing, and how it really all comes down to people doing the work that they are skilled to do.
Well done, community, well done...Nice example, thank you for it. While I think that it is in line with the general 'establish communication' approach, it also provides a good example of (possible) practical implementation.
P.S. As we are talking here about generic things, maybe some of you will express his/her opinion in the https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestLeft/Discussion-Do-you-need-to-organize-Test-Left-tests-for-execution/td-p/119738 thread (created, probably, in the not that popular yet section of the forum) ?
