What
is DevOps and why is it important?

DevOps is a set of practices and tools that bring together software development and IT operations. The main objective of this framework is to accelerate the software development life cycle.

Teams that implement DevOps tools and methods have significantly improved their performance, creating higher quality products and better adapting to the times and demands of the software development industry.

At GeneXus, we are convinced that adopting a DevOps culture is the best way to face a new reality, and in these six talks we will tell you how we can help you achieve it with our platform.

1. The Importance of nurturing a DevOps Culture

In the last decade, we’ve gotten good at building software quickly; now, the challenge is maintaining changing systems at an increasingly demanding rate. At GeneXus, we believe that the only sustainable way to have a high-performing team is through processes and tools based on a DevOps culture. Watch this video and discover the importance of nurturing this type of culture!

2. Software Testing Approaches with GeneXus

Development teams need to adapt quickly to changing business rules, delivering value, and ensuring the quality of their products. In GeneXus, it is possible to automate tests at different application levels, which will allow you to achieve continuous delivery with speed and confidence. In this video, you will see how to run the different types of tests, the news of testing, and what’s coming.

3. Deploying GeneXus Applications

GeneXus provides us with a deployment engine: a customizable and extensible solution that automatically allows the deployment of all types of applications, both on-premises and in any PaaS. Following DevOps development practices, this tool enables easy integration into continuous delivery processes. Let’s see its main aspects!

4. How to automate Continuous Integration processes to enhance the Application Development Cycle

For software development to be agile and continuous, it is necessary to automatically integrate the coding, construction, and testing tasks into the processes. With GeneXus 17, it is possible to create and monitor Continuous Integration processes, both from the GeneXus IDE and from the GeneXus Server web console. In this video, we will see how to work with Continuous Integration pipelines and adapt them to different environments.

5. DevSecOps: Redefining the foundations of security with Static Code Analysis

Application security is increasingly important, and tools help detect potential vulnerabilities. This talk will show you a static analysis tool based on the OWASP Top 10 Web that will help you create more secure applications with GeneXus.

6. Software Versioning and Team-based Development with GeneXus Server

As developers, we are surely wondering how we can maximize the efficiency of our projects. This video will discuss what GeneXus Server is and how it benefits application development through versioning, collaborative work, and the automation of key processes.
