Chapter 11. Assessing the State of Your DevOps Adoption with DevOps Benchmarking Approach

Previously on DevOps, we discussed New Breed of Testers with DevOps (Reference -1). We discussed the evolution of DevOps, DevOps approach, use of tools in DevOps life cycle, and how DevOps has changed the skill landscape expected of test organizations. In this chapter, we will discuss how an organization should go about assessing the state of readiness for DevOps and mature in their DevOps journey.
