Abstract

The DevOps (Development Operations) approach to software development has been progressively adopted in the last decade, to support the development, testing, continuous integration and deployment of software in an integrated manner. More recently, several extensions have been proposed, one being the BizDevOps (Business DevOps) approach, where business people are also integrated into the development effort, in order to further help in closing what is known as business-systems gap. This gap makes new software developments and changes to existing ones to require important efforts, in general without fulfilling the business area expectations about development and production deployment times. Support for the organization’s business processes has been increasingly provided by Business Process Management Systems (BPMS), often integrating internal and/or external services/microservices. Microservices are key allies for the BizDevOps approach realizing business processes providing the application’s flexibility and timely results needed. In this paper we present a BizDevOps proposal to support business process microservices-based application. We extended a previous proposal based on services, shifting the focus to microservices development, testing, continuous integration and deployment (DevOps) within the already business-IT alignment (BizDev) view we provided.
