DevOps
For RMD mobile
Decrease risk of human error by removing
manual steps
Centralize the deploy process
Remove need to reconfigure between
environments
Easy access to versions and rollbacks
Auditable log for each deployment
More frequent deploy to test
environment
Continuous Integration and
Continuous Delivery
•Enterprise DevOps journey relies on automated builds, automated testing
and deployment into various dev and test environments
• Continuous Integration – Automated Builds
Providing the development community with tools and processes to automate
their build and build verification activities with a goal to repeatable,
consistent and timely delivery of their work to be deployed
• Continuous Delivery – Automated Deploys to Dev and QA
Environments
Providing the development and release management community with tools
and processes to automate the deployment process with a goal to repeatable
and consistent deployments
•Today companies such as ING, Amazon and Facebook extend this practice to
fully automated release management up into production.

Changing the Culture
Developer Best Practices
Code must be constructed in smaller / frequent deployable units
Code must be checked in to the SCM tool at least once a day
All code checked in must have associated Unit Tests
Every check-in is to be built (incremental build)
Results of the build are to be available to all project team
members in a project dashboard
Broken build notifications will be sent to the project team
Broken builds must be prioritized to be fixed immediately
No check-ins are to be performed when the build is broken
