Project description
Researching software quality assurance for microservice development operations engineering
Software Quality Assurance (SQA) aims at monitoring the engineering processes and methods used for software development and production so as to ensure proper quality. The EU-funded uDEVOPS project intends to form an international and intersectoral research network focusing on SQA for microservice development operations engineering processes. The objective is to promote a cultural shift that makes microservice development operations testing a cornerstone in development and operation phases. The testing process will integrate algorithms, techniques and methods for model-based context learning, in vivo reliability, performance and security sampling-based testing driven by the learnt context, and risk assessment. The project will result in the implementation of know-how and breakthroughs for novel products, methodologies and services and create strategic bases to deal with SQA challenges in modern software production practices.
Objective
The objective of the DEVOPS project is to form an international and inter-sectoral network of organisations working on a joint research programme in the field of Software Quality Assurance (SQA) for Microservice Development Operations (DevOps) engineering processes. The project will involve early-stage and experienced researchers giving them the opportunity to develop and exchange skills and knowledge to progress towards key advances in the DevOps SQA field and strengthen collaborative research between different countries and sectors. The proposed action intends first to promote a cultural shift that places testing as a key cornerstone between the development and operation phases. Toward this long-term objective, the proposers will implement a joint research program aimed at i) fostering knowledge development and exchange between participants, ii) creating a long-lasting research network and iii) boosting research and innovation capacity of participating organisations. The knowledge exchange program will focus, as main scientific objective, on the study, definition and implementation of a testing process for DevOps that integrates algorithms, techniques and methods for: i) model-based context learning, aimed at context-aware testing; ii) in-vivo reliability, performance and security sampling-based testing driven by the learnt context; iii) risk assessment aimed at estimating, based on test results and field data, the business risk associated with the usage (and possible failure) of each functionality, thus supporting risk-based prioritisation of SQA tasks. In the long term, the project aims at implementing the know-how and breakthroughs for novel products, methodologies and services and creating strategic bases to deal with the SQA challenges in modern software production practices. This will enable participating SMEs to resist market competition, proposing new methods and tools for agile development , V&V and maintenance along the whole chain of SQA
