Tool support for DevOps process enhancements

Abstract

Software system engineering is rapidly growing to larger scales and software maintenance tends to be complex. The number of involving software artefacts increases with the growth of software systems. Thus, different software development approaches are getting introduced to ease the software management. Therefore, the notion of traceability management of software artefacts is given prominence along with continuous integration. DevOps based software development is in the rise among software development practitioners with the integration of developments and operations. DevOps improves software delivery and customer satisfaction by bringing together a set of activities, which can be repealed multiple times a day. Tool support for this level of continuous delivery is essential. Provision of traceability management tool support for DevOps process management remains unfulfilled at large, which we explored and addressed in this research.

The following research paper was published from the above-mentioned title " Towards traceability management in continuous integration with SAT-analyzer & Software artefact traceability analyser: a case-study on POS system".
