DevOps as a software engineering practice unifies software development (Dev) and software operation (Ops). To assist with quality delivery in with DevOps you need to provide a “Quality Delivery Pipeline” to assure the delivery meets the requirements and proper validation and checks are done before releasing into full production. This talk will focus on the “Quality Delivery Pipeline” as a practice that can help sustain delivering with confidence by addressing important qualities in the pipeline.

Extended Abstract:
Many software development processes such as Agile and Lean focus on the delivery of working software that meets the needs of the end-users. Many of these development processes help teams respond to unpredictability through incremental, iterative work cadences, and through empirical feedback. There is a commitment to quickly deliver reliable working software that has the highest value to those using or benefiting from the software. DevOps has become a common practice to assist with quality delivery in these practices, specifically when developing using the microservices architectural style. DevOps as a software engineering practice unifies software development (Dev) and software operation (Ops). To assist with quality delivery in these practices you need to provide a “Quality Delivery Pipeline” to help assure the delivery meets the requirements and proper validation and checks are done before releasing into full production. At the end of the pipeline the validated system will be deployed into production. There are various deployment techniques to help successfully and reliably deploy more quickly. The goal is to give confidence by providing "reliable, working software" to the user (making the user confident in the system). Also, the teams will have more confidence the system is working. This talk will focus on the “Quality Delivery Pipeline” as a practice that can help sustain delivering with confidence by addressing important qualities in the pipeline.
