The Agile approach can be analyzed in two ways: as a special instruction to take certain actions and as a bug searching process.

Experienced developers and testers will anyway find the approaches that help them work as efficiently as possible.

These methods also find criteria that have a negative effect on efficiency, and this, in turn, exacerbates the problems they cause.

A process of continuous software delivery is either a method of Agile implementation or a clear way to find inefficient processes.

Regular plans don’t really help if a user story and bug fixing stay in repositories before they reach stakeholders and clients.

Why is continuous software deployment a constant stressor and how to deal with it?

Many product companies meet such a state of software development that can be called “continuous stressor.”

This is the result of the absence of any tries to implement continuous integration or continuous delivery of system components.

Such things go together with:

– Fix commits are executed in a basic branch since there is a risk that someone will be unsatisfied;
– A basic branch of software code is in an unstable state;
– Software bugs and defects are hidden in regular code editing when a lot of time is needed to find certain system changes;
– When QA engineers starts testing software, they ask developers about the current state and a functioning build of the software.

If you have met this just once in your everyday life, keep in mind that there is always a way to deal with it.

Think about a way the method of “testing and adjusting” has affected the quality of how you plan software testing and then try to apply it to processes of developing and delivering web products in production.

Think about the problems in each executed commit.

The above are the main reasons that require continuous delivery for Agile methodology: developers will need feedback anyway.

The most surprising thing is that even testers can take the first (and the most important) step to do continuous production software delivery.

You don’t need to talk about this method everywhere or try to convince your department that Etsy is what everyone needs.

There are no technologies that are unique in such a way that methods and the basics of continuous software delivery can’t be applied to them.

Try to convince your quality assurance organization in the fact that continuous delivery is great, helpful and make your processes of development and testing of various types of software as efficient and clear as possible.
