Abstract

DevOps is a change in the organizational culture that aims to reduce the gap between development and operation teams, accelerating the software release process. However, little is known about the impact of this approach on software product quality. This study aims to analyze the influence of the application of DevOps on software product quality; therefore, a systematic literature review was conducted. Thirty-one articles related to DevOps and its influence on product quality were identified. The studies indicate a strong influence of some product quality characteristics, specifically: Reliability and Maintainability. Additionally, practices associated with DevOps, such as the minimum viable product, deployment automation, test automation, cloud computing and team cooperation, show a relationship with the improvement in software product quality, however, its adoption also brings new challenges to preserve security.
