    Laying a secure foundation with a structured DevOps process

    • Step 2: Structure – Laying a secure foundation with a structured DevOps process To avoid slowing the business, any modernization project must be carried out in parallel with daily development work.  Corrections and enhancements must be carried forward on each development branch.   Concurrent versioning and automated code merge will keep complexity under control right along the project. Securing a modernization budget?  A tight feedback loop is key to maintaining stakeholder buy-in for the project.  Whatever your modernization goals, having a structured DevOps process with test automation in place will ensure regular deliveries and the non-regression of your system.
