Abstract
Automated testing and continuous deployment techniques must be included into DevOps pipelines due to the quick evolution of software development and deployment. In a variety of project contexts, traditional DevOps systems frequently encounter difficulties with scalability, reusability, and flexibility. By combining infrastructure as code (IaC), test orchestration, and containerization, this article offers a generic and reusable framework that facilitates automated testing and deployment and enables effective continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes. The framework ensures a structured and automated development lifecycle by utilizing ontology-based maturity models to evaluate and enhance DevOps capabilities.It enables smooth workflow automation by integrating DevOpsLang, a standardized domain-specific language, to close the gap between development and operations. Additionally, to maximize testing and deployment efficiency while maintaining dependability in intricate software structures, performance-oriented DevOps techniques are included. This method's versatility across several business verticals is demonstrated by its use to corporate software systems and research applications.Platform-agnostic deployment techniques that improve software delivery efficiency are provided by the framework through the use of containerized CI/CD pipelines, namely Docker-based solutions. Additionally, GitLab-based pipelines accelerate automated test execution, lowering deployment risks and manual intervention. The efficiency of the framework is confirmed by a case study analysis, which shows an increase in test coverage and a decrease in deployment failures. By encouraging scalability, flexibility, and maintainability in contemporary software engineering techniques, the suggested method seeks to function as a standardized, reusable DevOps automation paradigm.
