Aim
This workshop aims to provide a venue for advances in state of the art in DevOps quality management approaches, practices, and tools. To this end, the workshop brings together experts from academia and industry, working in the diverse areas of quality assurance, testing, performance engineering, agile software engineering, and model-based development to identify, define, and disseminate novel quality-aware approaches to DevOps.
Scope
Researchers and practitioners are working to explore different aspects of the DevOps process. However, we didn’t see any conference that explicitly focused on DevOps activities and, more specifically, on quality management. Quality management offers immense research opportunities that can improve the DevOps process. This area needs due attention and a platform to maximize the discussion and research progress. We believe that this workshop will provide an opportunity for industry and academia to explore the quality attributes of the DevOps process.
Theme
The quality management of the software system and processes are mature in a conventional software development environment. Focusing on various metrics and processes under the DevOps principles could significantly improve product quality, development, and ownership. However, the deployment of DevOps quality assurance techniques and approaches remains largely unknown, and the automated steps in DevOps make quality management a challenging phase that cannot be achieved using traditional approaches. Therefore, DevOps-oriented quality management approaches are far from being mature and are often limited to expensive trial-and-error exercises.
Suggested Topics
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
Empirical studies using quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods
Empirical evaluation of quality management techniques
Social aspects of DevOps
DevOps quality management tools and methods
Machine learning for quality assurance
Scaling DevOps in the domain of global software engineering
Quality improvement standards and models
Knowledge management in DevOps
DevSecOps (thinking about application and infrastructure security from the start)
Automated documentation in DevOps
Risk management
Human factors in DevOps
DevOps education
Testing, verification and validation
DevOps challenges
DevOps for Cyber-Physical Systems
Ethics in DevOps Practices
Submission
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research papers as well as industrial practice papers. Simultaneous submissions to other conferences are not permitted. Detailed instructions for electronic paper submission, panel proposals, and review process can be found at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=devopsqm2023.
At least one of the authors of each accepted paper is required to pay a full registration fee and present the paper at the workshop. Submissions must be in PDF format and uploaded to the conference submission site.
