8. The 5 C’s of DevOps
Continuous Integration
Code changes are merged with the
mainline multiple times per day. Unit
testing and TDD make up the core of
CI
Continuous Delivery
Develop code in short cycles and
release often
Continuous Testing
Code is continually tested to ensure
quality before releasing
Continuous Feedback
Determine the current state of the
project
Continuous Monitoring Real-time status of the application

10. Building DevOps

• Our DevOps is centrally driven through the IBM Urban Code Suite
• UCB/UCD has empowered us to merge the 5 C’s into ONE WORKFLOW
• With our integrated commit hooks, all a developer has to do to trigger the
CI process is check in code to the SCM. That’s it!
