Every company is under the gun these days. The software development life cycle has sped up to a breakneck speed, one that is growing increasingly difficult to keep up with. With so many releases happening simultaneously, it’s more crucial than ever to have a solid plan in place, and this is where a good quality DevOps plan will come in to place, allowing your team to streamline the work so that you can continue to deliver at the pace demanded by the market. But what are the biggest challenges when implementing devops in your organization? How does it transform the software testing industry, and what are the benefits gained by embracing it?
