Five deployment of development and operation of the method

According to the latest global survey commissioned by cloud computing and cross-platform IT management provider CA Technologies, IT leaders in the Asia Pacific region have seen the real business benefits that development and operations can bring to their businesses. The development and operation can effectively help Chinese enterprises, increase the users who use their software and services by 14%, and reduce the development and operation costs by 14% at the same time . However , respondents using development operations in China said they found that development operations grew by about 11% in software and service development.

Representatives of Vanson Bourne, a market research firm, surveyed 1,300 senior IT decision makers around the world, 450 of whom were representatives from the Asia Pacific region. CA Technologies is prepared to investigate through surveys how they think about development operations and how they are used. Currently in China, 99% of respondents said they have used or are ready to use development and operation. This ratio is higher than the rest of the world. In the survey, the average share of development and operation in the Asia-Pacific region reached 70%, while the global average is 66%.

Regardless of the IT department or the industry , it is clear that Chinese enterprises have seen their awareness of development and operation improved. Developing operations allows IT organizations to spend less but deliver faster, higher quality applications. Here are five ways introduced by Sun Zhiwei, general manager of CA Technologies China, to enable enterprises to better deploy their operations.

1, the use of cloud technology Infrastructure, development platform and software application cloud platform practicality, for the business and application development supply chain provides more choices than ever before (test cloud, development cloud, platforms such as force.com, etc.). The use of cloud technology has led to increased efficiency and reduced costs, with higher requirements for collaboration in development, business and operations. Especially for organizations that want to move to agile development approaches, the use of cloud technology is very important. Agile methods emphasize the ready availability of development and test environments.

2, the quality of the left In any software system life cycle (SDLC), the constraints will affect fast, high quality and cost-effective application development. With the concept of Service Virtualization, CA Technologies believes that any organization that employs an agile or waterfall life cycle of a system will dramatically increase the level and speed of application publishing, effectively reduce errors, and at the same time radically save Cost, and reliance on expensive, often untested environments, especially those of the mainframe, large enterprise resource planning (ERP), and customer relationship management (CRM) types. This is achieved through simulation services that are dependent on the system needed to effectively develop and test undeveloped systems. By creating these simulation services, the capabilities of the tests, be they system tests, system integration tests, performance tests, or user acceptance tests, can come into play earlier than in the system life cycle. From the experience of CA Technologies and the added value, this simulation approach should start using during the lifecycle of the system lifecycle, and the quality of the application or packaged software will be much higher than in other phases. This will increase the speed of system life cycle output and reduce errors significantly. The second key benefit of mass shift to the left is the reduction in idle time, such as calculating the amount of idle time a development team waits for a test. A third advantage of this approach is that a reduced dependency on the test environment will allow CIOs to reduce their expenditures associated with supporting multiple test environments, especially for more expensive projects such as mainframe MIPS ( Mainframe MIPS).

3. Automated Utilization At the same time, Sun Zhiwei believes that when enterprises truly optimize the delivery of applications, the automated use of system life cycles is a key part of generating value. Automation is not a new term. However, the automation of system life cycles, such as the release of products and packages and the seamless flow of various environments throughout the life cycle of a system, can reduce many of the common obstacles that can slow down as a result of delays and troubleshooting . By using release automation, you can allow the various functions of the system's lifecycle to accomplish what they are good at-developing and testing high-quality applications. Post automation will ensure that suites and products are deployed in the new environment in sync with changes in the environment caused by configuration changes. Such as OS version, DB version, patch level, HW configuration, etc., will change when the environment changes. When a product enters these different environments (usually through the use of scripts or manual code), the application is likely to have a different behavior, and even before the test begins, problems can arise in ensuring that the error correction phase of the application is running. Post Automation also ensures "continuous delivery" during the system software development cycle as well as during production. This method can also complement the development and operation methods.

Breaking the boundaries of the team The rules governing development operations and the adoption of development operations will drive more effective application delivery and have a substantial impact. CA Technologies has started to get involved in this area and developing operations will be the "glue" for all of the deployment methods in this article.

5. Transparency in Agile Development The actual results of development and operations and related best practices should all evolve around the fundamental shift in the organization's deployment of application development. Agile development is at the heart of delivering value-addable application capabilities faster. Development teams that run this approach are geographically dispersed and perform different functions. Services The agile approach to development in a virtualized environment enables development to deliver not only software incrementals quickly but also test speeds and the necessary business results in a fraction of the time. Establish a successful development and operation of the environment in the establishment of a successful business development and operation of the environment is not the day. The first step in deploying a development operation is to persuade employees at all levels to accept development and operations, which will take some time. Personnel, process and technology are the three key factors that Sun Zhiwei has always stressed in its development and operation. If all of the above are true, companies will get faster, more predictable releases and better results at every stage of the software delivery lifecycle and more efficiently execute in more cost-efficient production. CA Technologies' CA LISA Application Delivery Suite is a proven core solution that helps IT organizations build a development and operations environment. Some of the world's largest banks, telecom operators, software companies and airlines are using CA LISA to develop operational solutions suite to optimize the delivery of their applications.
