Development and Operations (DevOps) tools are software applications designed to support and automate various stages of the DevOps lifecycle, including development, testing, deployment, and monitoring. These tools facilitate collaboration between development, operations, and quality assurance teams, enabling faster and more efficient software delivery. They typically support key DevOps practices such as continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), automated testing, version control, and infrastructure management. By streamlining processes and improving communication, DevOps tools help organizations enhance productivity, reduce errors, and accelerate time-to-market for software products.
