I often hear from customers who complain about how “classic” performance testing (i.e., end-to-end testing with high volume of virtual users) of their applications before release slows down the cycle time by several weeks. In addition, the testing significantly consumes both people and infrastructure (hardware and software license) resources.

DevOps is a composition of enhanced engineering practices that reduce lead time and increase the frequency of delivery. The primary goal of DevOps is to ensure operations team members are engaged and collaborating with development from the very beginning of a project or product development. Within many enterprises, teams are being compelled to reassess the security of their DevOps implementations. Recent news on vulnerabilities like Sun Burst and Log4j underscore why this is so critical.
