ABSTRACT
DevOps is a new software engineering paradigm adopted by various software organizations to develop an environment of continuous deployment and delivery within time. Numerous experts are offering their services to help organizations, how to implement DevOps activities in software organization. Though, still there are various issues for software organizations to adopt DevOps activities. To overcome such issues, there must be an approach that could assist software organizations towards better adoption of DevOps activities. The core objective of this research is to design a Readiness Model for DevOps (RMDevOps) to improve the adoption of DevOps activities in a software organization. Based on existing models in other fields of software engineering, we will develop this model. We have conducted a systematic literature review and empirical study on DevOps, for understanding the impact of the success factors of DevOps in the real world and literature. This study covers the first step of development of RMDevOps model, by identifying the success factors of DevOps and presenting the outcomes in the form of robust framework.
