How to Leverage Azure DevOps For Rapid Development of Minimum Viable Product 

The main objective of Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is to get maximum insights and understanding regarding what users need about a product. Gaining insights and understanding is a constant process requiring a development cycle that is ongoing in nature. That makes Azure DevOps a top choice for CIOs and every other person who struggles with MVP development. In this blog, we discuss the best practices one can use to leverage Azure DevOps for the rapid development of MVP.


What is Azure DevOps? 



Azure DevOps is a Software-as-a-service (SaaS) developer service particularly for support teams who need to configure work, collaborate with different teams on code improvement, developing, and deploying various applications and software.

How to Get Access to Azure DevOps?


To get access to Azure DevOps, you need to have a personal Microsoft account to sign in and access it. You may follow the steps given below:


1. Click on this link to sign in using a Microsoft Account. (If you don’t have a Microsoft account, you can sign up for a new one.)

2. Enter your credentials. 

3. Finally, click on Continue to get access to Azure DevOps and get started.


Once you’ve signed in, an organization will be created based on the details of the account you’re signed in with. You are allowed to rename, delete, or change the location of this organization. 


Best Practices to Boost Your Productivity and MVP Development

Apply a Branching Strategy

When working with DevOps, a branching strategy is a model utilized so that your codebase advances in a coherent, steady, and generally simple way. This approach provides insights into how, when, and why branches are made and named. There are various branching strategies that are taken into consideration in DevOps to work on the ideas to be organized and developed simultaneously.

Introduce a Code Review Process through DevOps Pull Request

You should use DevOps pull requests to review and manage your code in a project. Pull requests let your team review code and give input on changes before merging it into the main branch. Pull requests can pop out of either subject branches inside the same repository or from a branch in a fork of the original repository. Code reviewers can go through the changes, comments, and vote to approve or reject the code accordingly.

Automate QA Processes for Test Case Execution

Automation of QA processes is just the tip of the iceberg of the complete DevOps lifecycle, however, it’s very basic and important for quick and excellent delivery. With automated QA testing, it's feasible to accomplish continuous testing - a fundamental part of delivering quality software at high velocity, and a significant driver for expanding productivity, bringing down costs, and limiting the risk factors.

Automate Deployments to Reduce Manual Errors

DevOps and automation go inseparably. Directly from continuous business planning to feedback improvement, there is a lot of scope in MVP for automation. Needless to say, automated deployments drive functional productivity. It not only quickens the speed at which applications are deployed but additionally reduces the proportion of manual errors and saves time and additional effort. Automated deployments for MVP development mean developers can deploy applications quicker inside a limited capacity to focus.

Introduce Approval Workflow in Release Pipeline

By introducing a combination of deployment approvals, gates, and manual intervention in your release pipeline, you can rapidly and effectively design your MVP deployment to meet all the particular requirements for your workflow. Approval workflow and gates allow you to take hold of the start and end of the deployment in a release. With approvals, you can wait for environment owners to manually approve or reject deployments.
