Agile Automation: Automating The Agile Release Process
Agile methods promote a process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation, the rapid delivery of high-quality software, and responding to changing circumstances rather than strictly following a plan. Therefore, automation is key for the success of the Agile release process.
To make sure Agile projects run smoothly and rapidly, companies must automate all repetitive activities – such as installing new builds of complex, multi-tier, multi-server software. Automating application updates in development and QA environments accelerates the release process, increases flexibility and efficiency, and enables companies to keep the Agile promise of efficient, rapid delivery of high-quality software.
