    Metrics that matters for DevOps Success

    DevOps is generally introduced for the development teams to speed up the software delivery. DevOps is considered as a step beyond Agile. Many enterprises accepted DevOps as a part of software delivery process from planning, developing, deploying and updating an application, according to reviews.

    In this competitive world, DevOps allows businesses to speed up with the rapid pace of demands by the customers.Here are the top Ways to Obtaining Business Benefits of DevOps. Customers of today demand quality as well as security based products. DevOps, making the best use of its principles, provides superior quality and lowers the risk. On the contrary, in traditional software development approach, increased speed often results in poor quality and increased vulnerabilities.

    Why are metrics essential?

    Most organizations implement DevOps because of the demand for quality, time improvement and the need for defect-free products. Since DevOps has no specified framework, there exist a few standard ways to measure DevOps success. How do you find out how well it can work? How will you come to know whether it is working or not?

    The answer to this question, and the solution to all the existing problems, is the use of Metrics. Metrics are essential to stay in sync with DevOps. DevOps will be used extensively which therefore requires continuous treatment. But if you are not measuring its outcomes, you cannot understand how to incorporate DevOps in your organization. The focus of DevOps metrics is on deployment, operations, and support (feedback). Let us have a look at the Devops metrics which will lead to improved delivery performances.

    • People: People are the major elements of the DevOps process. People-oriented metrics measure the things like yielding, capacity and response time. People are the hardest element of DevOps. So always start with the phase ‘People’.
    • Process:

    In some ways, DevOps is considered as a process of  continuous deployment. There are many process-oriented metrics. Development to deployment is a large process-oriented metrics. Process metrics can be the measurement of speed, appropriateness and effectiveness.

    • Technology:

    Technology metrics also plays a major role in DevOps. It measures the things like uptime (time during which the computer performs operations), network and support, and failure rate.

    • Deployment (or Change) Frequency:

    DevOps metrics includes continuous deployment. Updated software deployment in every few days can be possible with fast feedback and piecemeal development. In a DevOps environment, deployment frequency can be measured in terms of the response time, the teamwork, the developer capacities, development tools and the overall efficiency.

    • Change Lead Time:

    Change lead time is the time period between the initialization phase to the deployment phase. In DevOps, it is a measure of development process efficiency,

    code and the development systems’ complexity, and also of team capabilities. A protracted ‘change lead time’ is an indicator of an inefficient deployment system.

    • Change Failure Rate:

    One of the main goals of DevOps is to do frequent deployment with less failure rates. Failure rates metrics should be decreased over time, as the experience and the capabilities of the team and developers get increased. If the frequency of failure is very high, it is definitely a red flag, as it gives rise to problems in the overall DevOps process.

    • Mean Time to Recover:

    Time taken between ‘recovering the failure’ from the ‘failure’ is known as Mean Time to Recover (MTTR). It can be fragmented into three phases- detection, diagnosis and recovery phases. MTTR metrics is the sign of a good teamwork which identifies how effectively the teams handle the changes, and also, how collaboratively they do so. By all means, this metric is becoming a trend for DevOps to remodel organizational processes in a better way.
