The article discusses how the traditional divide between development and operations is diminishing due to modern observability practices that enhance software testing. Bryan Cole from Tricentis emphasizes the need for operations teams to have visibility into development processes to ensure successful deployments. The integration of Tricentis and Dynatrace demonstrates the importance of context and data analysis in performance testing. Customers have reported significant efficiency improvements, with reductions in analysis times and problem identification. Cole highlights the necessity for preventive operations and the challenges in adopting continuous testing practices.
"Ops teams are paid to keep the lights on and deliver business value," Cole explains. "What Dynatrace is doing, moving into the dev space, is providing context to the ops teams."
"Nothing's worse for an IT ops team than to be given a software bill that you know nothing about to deploy Friday night," Cole notes. "Hope is a terrible strategy."
"That insight provides focus and guidance to the ops teams and helps them manage their time, because the ops are getting so big and complex..."
"If you don't know the symptoms your application is going to exhibit when it starts to fail, then you have a hard time understanding what should trigger you to take that preventive action."
