In 1946, a moth found its way to a relay of the Mark II computer in the Computation Laboratory where Grace Hopper was employed. Since that time, software engineers and operations specialists have been plagued by “bugs.” In the age of DevOps, we can catch many bugs before they escape into a production environment.
