Explosion of Ops
Recently, the IT world has been experiencing an explosion of different terms related to operations. The good old days—when the global order was defined around a rule of thumb and IT as separate from business—are gone, never to return. Dozens of ‘Ops’ crowded the sphere of software testing: starting with trendy DevOps. The successful application of DevOps – combined practices of software development and IT operations – triggered the rise of similar practices such as DataOps, ArchOps, DevSecOps, AIOps, BizDevOps, CloudOps, DevOps, ITOps, NoOps, etc.
All of them complement the DevOps methodology aiming to optimize the SDLC (software development life cycle).
