Abstract

After DeBois popularized DevOps, there is now a focus on integrating software development and operations. However, DevOps lacks a widely accepted definition despite various interpretations in the literature. Practitioners possess a basic understanding, but academic conceptualization is necessary. This research paper presents a framework based on the continuity principle in DevOps Phases to elucidate the fundamental concepts underlying DevOps. The framework defines DevOps as a synthesis of phases that encompass the entire software development lifecycle, including continuous planning, development, testing, integration, delivery, and monitoring. The study aims to assess the importance of each phase in implementing DevOps practices within the software development lifecycle. To accomplish this, the best–worst method is employed to calculate priority weights for each stage. The analysis utilizes input values derived from the DevOps-related section of the HELENA Dataset, which is sourced from software development practitioners, particularly those engaged in hybrid development models.
