Cloud-based DevOps processes allow developers to design, build and test smaller pieces of functionality often simultaneously, rather than the previous lengthy and time-consuming “waterfall” method of testing large systems one stage at a time, according to the solution provider.

Also, it’s the success of DevOps among “world-class” cloud providers -- notably in achieving scale-out economies of scale – that’s drawing the interest of many IT organizations, Gartner’s Wurster says.
