Towards the successful execution of DevOps outsource software development process
Pages 534 - 537
Abstract
Outsourced software development using the DevOps Model (COSD) has become very popular in the tech industry due to its financial and strategic benefits. The DevOps (COSD) Model facilitates the development process of software across different geographical locations for developer virtual. However, there are many difficulties in managing and organizing the development processes/activities due to cultural and time zone differences in distributed geographical locations. In this research project, our aim is to develop a readiness model that could improve the DevOps Model (COSD) for managing software development activities through assessment using the readiness model. We will compare the structural design of our model with the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). Additionally, we will consider the most critical factors in terms of success and barriers as readiness levels highlighted in real-world industry practices and existing literature. Our proposed model provides an idea and emphasizes the importance of a maturity model for software development and successful management of COSD activities in the tech industry.
