NBCUniversal is implementing DevOps practices like continuous integration, delivery, and testing using tools from IBM like UrbanCode Deploy, IBM Dev-Test Environment as a Service (IDTES), and IBM Cloud Orchestrator. This allows them to continuously test code, deploy applications across hybrid clouds, and improve collaboration between development and operations teams. NBCUniversal's DevOps practices aim to address issues like slow release processes and lack of integration between development stages.

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

CI/CD/CT Details
• UCB/UCD has empowered us
to merge continuous
integration, continuous
delivery, and continuous
testing 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!
Our DevOps workflow integrates:
• Agile Project Management
• Source Code Management
• Database Forecasting Automation
• Database Deployment Automation
• Build Automation
• Deployment Automation
• Unit Testing
• Code Coverage
• Static Code Analysis
• Technical Debt Measurement
• Dynamically Activated Cloud-based
Testing Environments
• Integrated & Automated
Environment Provisioning
• Functional Test Automation
• Regression Test Automation
• Veracode Integration
