Getting Started with Azure DevOps

Introduction to DevOps

DevOps is the method of working together between the development and operations teams. Software development, testing, validation, and deployment are all included in the partnership. Consequently, it established a standard for the development environment that raises software's effectiveness, dependability, and security.

The Azure DevOps establishes a procedure for collaboration between developers, managers, and testers across the SDLC process.
