Impacto de la aplicación de un enfoque de entrega continua en la calidad del software bancario

Abstract

This work evaluates the impact on software quality by applying a continuous delivery approach. The continuous delivery consists of three phases: Continuous Exploration that allows to determine the needs of the client beyond the requirements, Continuous Integration that allows the automation of builds and automatic tests, and Continuous Deployment that allows the passage of new functionalities to different environments such as: Development, Testing and even Production, not necessarily released to be used immediately, but to be enabled at any time. The result of this work is for software suppliers or internal developers in banking entities that want a shorter reaction time, risk reduction, exposure of defects and costs, among other benefits of applying this technique. To determine the impact on quality, a case study was carried out, which measures and records the behavior of the people involved in the phenomenon studied, number of errors, rework, delivery of functionalities before and after applying the Continuous Delivery approach. The case study will allow us to observe the results of changes introduced in similar contexts under the same conditions, applying different approaches.
