DevOps is considered the Holy Grail to achieve highly effective and flexible IT support for business processes. Transaction processing on a mainframe, however, brings challenges to harvest the benefits of DevOps.
An application architecture designed for consistency and high performance leads to dozens of inevitable interconnections. These trigger the need for end-to-end testing and complicate automation. See how IBM and Rabobank cooperate to achieve an automation pipeline for transaction processing systems. Including automated testing and deployments with Rational Test Virtualization Server and UrbanCode Deploy.
