DevOps can help deliver new releases faster and with fewer defects. But database development is often excluded. That’s because code testing and reviews would put a huge speedbump in the process. Until now.

In this tech brief, you’ll see how the Quest® Toad® DevOps Toolkit solution enables you to bring Oracle development into your Database DevOps pipeline, making for better and more reliable application deployments.

Discover how the Toad DevOps Toolkit makes it possible to integrate the following database development tasks into the DevOps framework:

• Code reviews
• Script execution
• Database, schema and data compare and sync
• PL/SQL unit testing

Life is all about choices. You can choose to muddle through manual tasks, or you can get the e-book on automating agile database development. One choice will slowly drive you nuts, and the other will make you the MVP of your team. Save your sanity. Get this e-book.

• Improve your functional correctness, code quality, code maintainability and application performance.
• Implement the automation components of Toad Development Suite for Oracle.
• Integrate Toad DevOps Toolkit with your continuous integration servers.

Many organizations are turning to DevOps to help them succeed in today’s intensely competitive markets. By embracing Database DevOps practices, which emphasize collaboration and communica­tion between development, operations and other functional areas, they can build, test and release software faster and with fewer defects.

Unfortunately, there is often one huge bottleneck in the otherwise agile DevOps workflow: database development. Organizations have been unable to easily integrate database development tasks such as functional testing of Oracle PL/SQL code or schema compare and sync into the DevOps workflow, or to implement scripts to physically deploy database changes. As a result, they have been unable to fully achieve their goals of faster release cycles and reliably high-quality code.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Download this white paper today and discover:

• What DevOps is (spoiler alert: it’s not just a set of continuous integration and continuous delivery tools)
• The benefits DevOps promises, and the results organizations are already achieving
• How quickly organizations, both large and small, are adopting DevOps
• The three key factors to a successful DevOps program
• Why the ideal solution will enable you to execute key database development tasks within your DevOps workflow, and which specific functionality to look for

Join guest speaker IDC research director Melinda Ballou and Quest® Toad® product manager John Pocknell as they discuss the state of DevOps and the value it provides for continuous application delivery.

This session will highlight the advantages of bringing database development into the DevOps pipeline. You’ll learn how this prevents bottlenecks from occurring when application releases require database changes. You’ll also get to see how new tooling helps integrate Oracle database development processes to accelerate DevOps momentum.

You’ll gain a deeper understanding of:

• The challenges and benefits of DevOps
• Key factors for DevOps success
• How software can support DevOps processes and integration of the database

• Melinda Ballou: Research Director, Agile ALM, Quality and Portfolio Strategies

• John Pocknell: Sr. Product Manager, Quest Software

Need an easier way to keep up with business and customer demands? In this educational session, you’ll learn how to integrate database changes with your DevOps strategy. And before you say, “That’s only for application development” – don’t worry. You’re about to see how to extend those same time-saving concepts to database teams.

So what’s the secret to DevOps for databases? Implementing specific processes and tools to synchronize database and applications as they are deployed. You’ll get step-by-step guidance from Oracle expert and Toad Product Manager John Pocknell to help you streamline database development.

In this DevOps training session, you’ll learn how to:

• Shorten your database development cycles without compromising quality and performance.
• Integrate code-quality reviews and functional code testing into your continuous integration workflow.
• Work smarter and become more agile by delivering code 40 percent faster.
