University Assignment: DevOps and Code Management Solutions Analysis

This assignment presents solutions to problems related to DevOps and code management, focusing on the principles and benefits of adopting DevOps practices. The first solution highlights the advantages of DevOps, including reduced risk, faster deployment, increased productivity, and quicker repair times, emphasizing the efficiency gains from streamlined processes and collaborative teamwork. The second solution underscores the importance of code management systems in software development, explaining how these systems enable multiple developers to work concurrently, manage file versions, and facilitate the retrieval of previous code versions. The solutions are supported by references to relevant literature, providing a comprehensive overview of the topics discussed within the context of software engineering principles.

Solution 10.1
Adopting DevOps provides a root for more effective and efficient software operation
and deployment due to its four following benefits. They are:
 Reduced risk – The functionality increment in every release is comparatively small.
As a result, there is very less chance that the newly added interaction features and
other change will cause a system failure.
 Faster deployment compared to other practices – The software deployment in
production are fast because the main reason (communication delay between people)
for a slower deployment is greatly reduced.
 More productive compared to others - The DevOps team members are happy with
their jobs as a result they will stick with their current jobs resulting in being more
productive than that of the teams in distinct activities.
 Quick repair – The DevOps team mainly works together and focuses on making the
software complete and running in the least time possible. As a result, on finding a
problem in a certain part, there is no delay for finding any specific teams that are
responsible for that specific problem and waiting for them to fix the problem so that
they can continue with their remaining tasks (Riungu-Kalliosaari et al. 2016).

Solution 10.2
At the time of developing a new software by a team of developers, it is crucial to use
the code management system because by using the code management system multiple
developers can develop the software independently (in a part wise manner) at the same time.
All the files linked with developing the software can also be checked at the same time. It also
has a storage management system with the help of which, multiple copies of same code with
a minimal code difference can be avoided.
In case only one developer is involved in developing a software, s/he can avail the facility of
identification of version release in a proper ordered manner. Any type of changes made in the
code file are recorded and maintained properly. In case, the developer needs to retrieve any
previous version codes and review the changes made by them, s/he can easily do the same
with the help of code management system (Bass, Weber and Zhu 2015).
