To ensure continuousdeliverychange, specialized tooling is required. While DevOps in SAP translates to different things for different companies but all the processes including the development process, pre-production, QA, and production are affected.
- 2. Quality Development: Delivery of quality development requires a robust processthat includesregular feedback, clearly defined business requirements with quality rooted from the very beginning of the process. In other words, the entire development should be quality checked to minimize costs and errors. The quality check includes enforcement of code quality, automated unit testing, security checks, and reviews. Efficient Testing: Deployment of changes for testing can be done after continuousintegrationwithoutanyrisk.A goodrhythmof delivery requirements requires choosing whatis requiredtobe deployedbasis business priorities rather than long release cycles. Many SAP delivery issues are removed when checking for risks, sequencing, completeness, and impact. The deliveryof functionalitycanbe acceleratedbythisagile approachandchangescan be deployedwith confidence instead of waiting for full delivery release. Take Care of Your Current System: When the features are deployed, it’s important to ensure that the current system doesn’t break down. Constant testing confirmsthatchanges are regularly tested through regression testing that is robust, recurrent, and has the essential functionalcoverage.So,whenchangesare deployed, unnecessary side effects get decreased, which in turn offers risk mitigation.
