DevOps Tactical Adoption Theory tries to make the transition process as smooth as possible. It hypothesis each step towards DevOps maturity should bring a visible business value empowering management and team commitment for the next step. The innovative idea here, it is not required to add the tools/processes to stack from sequential beginning to end, but seeking benefit. The reason behind the theory is to encourage practitioners to apply each step one-by-one and then having the benefits in projects. Consequently, each step is tested in terms of utility and proved method validity for the further steps. In contrast to previous adoption models, our model indicates concrete activities rather than general statements. Theory built on the claim that many DevOps transition projects considered problematic, impractical or even unsuccessful causing concept to become a goal more than a technique. Basically, theory consists of different areas of interest describing various actions on a schema. In the session, it is planned to demonstrate “DevOps Tactical Adoption Theory” with focus on Delivery Pipeline/Testing Practices sectioned "Continuous Testing in DevOps".

The document discusses a progressive approach to balancing quality and speed in software development. It proposes a 3-step process: 1) Testing the initial idea with examples and definitions of success, 2) Testing a first increment in production and measuring impact, and 3) Making the feature fully available once validation and automation are completed. The approach aims to test value first, invest progressively in quality, gain user feedback, and create an environment for experimentation.
