SCOPE AND TOPICS
DevOps has emerged in recent years as a set of principles and practices
for smoothing out the gap between development and operations, thus
enabling faster release cycles for complex IT services. Common tools
and methods used in DevOps include infrastructure as code, continuous
deployment, automated testing, continuous integration, and new
architectural styles such as microservices.
As of today, software engineering research has mainly explored these
problems from a functional perspective, trying to increase the benefits
and generality of these methods for the end users. However, this has
left behind the definition of methods and tools for DevOps to assess,
predict, and verify quality dimensions.
The QUDOS workshop focuses on the problem of how to best define and
integrate quality assurance methods and tools in DevOps. Quality covers
a broadly-defined set of dimensions including functional correctness,
performance, reliability, safety, survivability, and cost of ownership,
among others. To answer this question, the QUDOS workshop wants to
bring together experts from academia and industry working in areas
such as quality assurance, testing, performance engineering, agile
software engineering, and model-based development. The goal is to
identify and disseminate novel quality-aware approaches to DevOps.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Foundations of quality assurance in DevOps:
Methodologies; integration with lifecycle management; automated
tool chains; architecture patterns; etc.
* Architectural issues in DevOps:
Scalability and capacity planning; scale-out architectures;
cloud-native application design; microservice-based architectures
* Quality assurance in the development phase:
Software models and requirements in early software development
phases; functional and non-functional testing; languages,
annotations and profiles for quality assurance; quality analysis,
verification and prediction; optimization-based architecture design;
etc.
* Quality assurance during operation:
Application performance monitoring; model-driven performance
measurement and benchmarking; feedback-based quality assurance;
capacity planning and forecasting; architectural improvements;
performance anti-pattern detection; traceability and versioning;
trace and log analysis; software regression and testing; performance
monitoring and analytics; etc.
* Continuous deployment and live experimentation:
CI and CD in DevOps; canary releases and partial rollouts; A/B
testing; performance and scalability testing via shadow launches
* Applications of DevOps:
Case Studies in cloud computing, Big Data, and IoT; standardization
and interoperability; novel application domains, etc.
* All other topics related to quality in DevOps and agile service
delivery models
