Line-of-business analysts, developers, operators, maintainers, clients and field support staff. Everyone must be a stakeholder in an open lifecycle platform with consistent integration, collaboration, and optimization patterns.
DevOps extends lean/agile principles across the broader lifecycle and across the enterprise with collaborative development, continuous testing and integration, continuous release and deployment, continuous monitoring and optimization.
We see four general adoption paths on the road to DevOps. Four areas where we see clients can incrmentally adopt DevOps practices. These are:
Plan and Measure - Be able to plan new versions and release. Be able to make the tradeoffs required. Be able to measure experiments that have been made to improve the product.
Develop and Test - This is all about collaborative development with continuous testing and integration.
Release and Deploy - This is all about being able to release and deploy in a consistent and efficient manner. It may be to release many times in a week or it may be to make sure that monthly release to production is a reliable and high quality release.
Monitor and Optimize - This is all about being able to get feedback from the client and application. This may be performance information, it many be sentiment analysis on how clients are doing with the app or it may be actually understanding the navigation paths that clients are taking - not what you think they are taking.

Main point: Dependencies across teams, tools, processes and platforms, increases the need for coordination, collaboration and transparency even more.
In a typical IT shop, mobile apps are typically not stand alone apps. They have very little business logic on the mobile device itself and serve more as front-ends to a multiple web-tier and back-office applications already in use by the enterprise. These enterprise applications may range from mission-critical transaction processing systems to employee portals to packaged applications. The coordination of release plan, development, test, release processes which are all moving at different rate can be quite time consuming and often done manually and ad-hoc communications, leading to some of the challenges we discussed earlier.
For example the Mobile team is pushing out code a lot faster than let’s say a back-office team would and as dependencies across these sub-systems grows, managing the end-to-end delivery process becomes even more critical.

We have Green Hat virtualized services today and SCD to automate the build, deploy, and test. What is new here is that we are leveraging the cloud for the GH test virtualization server and we have modified SCD to capture GH configuration data as part of a test environment. This gives us the ability to automate the deployment and setup of a test environment for application changes that automatically configures the GH virtualization stubs, turns them on, and configures the application to use the stubs. All of this is done leveraging the private cloud for its dynamic provisioning behavior giving us the ability to provision dedicated test environments without the dependency of complicated and sometimes costly end point services.

Cluster template
WAR
Exemplar WAS Cell
Deployment Automation Developer or Deploy Administrator imports the AMC Plug-in into Deploy. The Plug-in is configured to auto-discover WAS installs on specific resources so when the agent comes on-line it will invoke the AMC plug-in which will discover the cell topology and create WAS Cell and WAS Cluster subresources back on the Deploy server.
A Middleware Administrator or Application Developer unzips the AMC plug-in on a system that has connectivity to the exemplar WAS cell
The Middleware Administrator or Application Developer will run a script packaged in the AMC plug-in that will prompt for some information, then discover and import configuration from the exemplar WAS cell
The AMC template creation script will ask the user for a base product template (e.g. WAS v8.5) and to chose what configuration data from the imported cell should be added (either only cell scoped configuration or a cluster configuration). Note that if any custom tokens are required (e.g. host specific information like JDBC connection URL, etc.), then the Middleware Administrator or Application Developer will need to open the appropriate template file up for editing and insert the tokens manually. They will then need to create appropriate properties on the appropriate WAS Cell/Cluster resources to ensure the token substitution happens correctly during deployment (this is not directly shown in the diagram above for the sake of clarity).
The AMC template creation script will prompt the user for information required to connect to a Deploy server, including the name of the WAS configuration component and will create/update the template in CodeStation.
The Deployment Automation Developer should now have all the Deploy artifacts he needs to assemble the Application including deploy/undeploy processes
The application, including WAS configuration, can be deployed and promoted across all environments defined in the application

Rational Test Workbench
Service Virtualization support for isolating mobile client tier
For focused automated mobile client tier functional testing, use Service Virtualization to simulate the mobile middle tier and back office systems.
Client Tier Devices
UI Testing
MAIN POINT: Most mobile apps are engaging “systems of record” or existing systems to provide enterprise knowledge, data and business processes and therefore, mobile testing should represent testing more than just the User Interface.
SPEAKER NOTES: Rational Test Workbench also includes capabilities to test the back-end enterprise systems. This provides two distinct benefits:
Reduces MIPS / processing usage on enterprise systems, which can often involve chargebacks to the client teams using those MIPS. This can be instant operational savings for many projects that need to test.
Keeps mobile appdev teams agile so that they can continue to develop and test iteratively in the aggressive backlog schedules.
