Winner of the 2011 Jolt Excellence Award! Getting software released to users
is often a painful, risky, and time-consuming process. This groundbreaking new
book sets out the principles and technical practices that enable rapid,
incremental delivery of high quality, valuable new functionality to users.
Through automation of the build, deployment, and testing process, and improved
collaboration between developers, testers, and operations, delivery teams can
get changes released in a matter of hours― sometimes even minutes–no matter
what the size of a project or the complexity of its code base. Jez Humble
and David Farley begin by presenting the foundations of a rapid, reliable,
low-risk delivery process. Next, they introduce the “deployment pipeline,” an
automated process for managing all changes, from check-in to release. Finally,
they discuss the “ecosystem” needed to support continuous delivery, from
infrastructure, data and configuration management to governance. The authors
introduce state-of-the-art techniques, including automated infrastructure
management and data migration, and the use of virtualization. For each, they
review key issues, identify best practices, and demonstrate how to mitigate
risks. Coverage includes • Automating all facets of building, integrating,
testing, and deploying software • Implementing deployment pipelines at team
and organizational levels • Improving collaboration between developers,
testers, and operations • Developing features incrementally on large and
distributed teams • Implementing an effective configuration management
strategy • Automating acceptance testing, from analysis to implementation •
Testing capacity and other non-functional requirements • Implementing
continuous deployment and zero-downtime releases • Managing infrastructure,
data, components and dependencies • Navigating risk management, compliance,
and auditing Whether you’re a developer, systems administrator, tester, or
manager, this book will help your organization move from idea to release
faster than ever―so you can deliver value to your business rapidly and
reliably.
