B&R DevOps Package - Incorporate DevOps strategies into AS project development

B&R DevOps Package

Description

The B&R DevOps Package is a consolidation of materials that defines DevOps, explains the key benefits, and provides insights on how to incorporate DevOps practices into Automation Studio project development.

A full description is provided in this article. See also the corresponding podcast.
@Wesley.Buchanan and I also hosted a wE-talk to go over the materials.

Goal

The goal of this package is to significantly reduce the barriers to entry of DevOps strategies into the day-to-day workflow of Automation Studio project development, in order to increase the efficiency, quality, and maintainability of the resulting applications.

Access now!

All of the materials are freely available on GitHub here.

Integration testing with mapp View

We are happy to announce that integration testing with mapp View has been added to the DevOps package.

With this addition to the package we cover using a combination of pytest and Selenium WebDriver to automate testing with a mapp View visualization.

The update is freely available on Github here

Special thanks to our B&R Czech colleagues for their support in this adding this!

Hi @brittany.langston, @Wesley.Buchanan, how can I get access to the Github pages? I already have an ABB guest account, however when I try to access I get a hint that the administrator needs to add me to a group in order to access the pages. Thanks

For now you can reach it by:
archive-br-automation-com/BnR-DevOps-Package: Contains materials for implementing DevOps practices for Automation Studio project development.

Hi Roberto,
unfortunately there was a recent change in our Github organization that meant that public repositories were no longer available. We should have a solution for this soon, in the mean time please use the archive link that @job.franken posted.

I’ll post an update once the repository and github pages have been moved over to a publicly available space. Sorry for this.
