Abstract

If today’s software development organisations are to remain competitive in the software industry, then they need new ways of working or methodologies that will enable them to meet their customers’ needs as quickly as possible. Agile methodologies that help organisations to achieve this have been used and developed for several years, but they emphasise only software development teams. However, many teams, such as the IT operations team, are involved in software projects but are not dealt with by agile methodologies, and this is how DevOps came into being. DevOps is a concept that encompasses a new philosophy that seeks to promote the collaboration between the software development team and the IT operations team. However, since it is one of the latest trends in the software industry, there is a lack of training on it, despite the increasing demand for skilled personnel with DevOps knowledge. The goal of this paper is, therefore, to present Journey to the Core of DevOps, a serious game whose objective is to introduce Software Engineering students and inexperienced engineers to the concept of DevOps by providing a virtual environment in which key aspects of DevOps are emphasised, thus allowing players to have a first contact with it.
