Are you looking to improve your organizational culture and automate the stages of app development? In this module, you will begin by discovering how adopting a DevOps culture will aid in the collaboration of development and operations engineers throughout the development lifecycle. Then you’ll experiment with different ways of working, such as using test-driven and behavior-driven development techniques to ensure repeatable behavior and high code quality. Test-driven development (TDD) allows you to develop more quickly and confidently. In contrast, Behavior Driven Development (BDD) tests the system’s behavior from the outside and ensures that it behaves as intended. You’ll then see how implementing Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery practices guarantees that every change contributes to a potentially shippable feature. You will also learn about the fundamental DevOps and CI/CD tools developers use worldwide. Then you’ll discover why empowering people to do their best work contributes to the organizational DevOps goal of achieving a shared mindset and empowering everyone to deliver customer value.
