The book "Accelerating Software Quality: Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in the Age of DevOps" is a complete asset for software developers, testers, and managers that are on their journey to a more mature DevOps workflow, and struggle with better automation and data-driven decision making. DevOps is a mature process across the entire market, however, with existing Non-AI/ML technologies and models, it comes short in expediting release cycle, identifying productivity gaps and addressing them. This book, that was implemented by myself with the help of leaders from the DevOps and test automation space, is covering topics from basic introduction to AI and ML in software development and testing, implications of AI and ML on existing apps, processes, and tools, practical tips in applying commercial and open-source AI/ML tools within existing tool chain, chat-bots testing, visual based testing using AI, automated security scanning for vulnerabilities, automated code reviews, API testing and management using AI/ML, reducing effort and time through test impact analysis (TIA), robotic process automation (RPA), AIOps for smarter code deployments and production defects prevention, and many more.When properly leveraging such tools, DevOps teams can benefit from greater code quality and functional and non-functional test automation coverage. This increases their release cycle velocity, reduces noise and software waste, and enhances their app quality.The book is divided into 3 main sections: *Section 1 covers the fundamentals of AI and ML in software development and testing. It includes introductions, definitions, 101 for testing AI-Based applications, classifications of AI/ML and defects that are tied to AI/ML, and more.*Section 2 focuses on practical advises and recommendations for using AI/ML based solutions within software development activities. This section includes topics like visual AI test automation, AI in test management, testing conversational AI applications, RPA benefits, API testing and much more.*Section 3 covers the more advanced and future-looking angles of AI and ML with projections and unique use cases. Among the topics in this section are AI and ML in logs observability, AIOps benefits to an entire DevOps teams, how to maintain AI/ML test automation, Test impact analysis with AI, and more.The book is packed with many proven best practices, real life examples, and many other open source and commercial solution recommendations that are set to shape the future of DevOps together with ML/AI

More than half of the analytics and machine learning (ML) models created by organizations today never make it into production. Some of the challenges and barriers to operationalization are technical, but others are organizational. Either way, the bottom line is that models not in production can't provide business impact. This book introduces the key concepts of MLOps to help data scientists and application engineers not only operationalize ML models to drive real business change but also maintain and improve those models over time. Through lessons based on numerous MLOps applications around the world, nine experts in machine learning provide insights into the five steps of the model life cycle--Build, Preproduction, Deployment, Monitoring, and Governance--uncovering how robust MLOps processes can be infused throughout. This book helps you: Fulfill data science value by reducing friction throughout ML pipelines and workflows Refine ML models through retraining, periodic tuning, and complete remodeling to ensure long-term accuracy Design the MLOps life cycle to minimize organizational risks with models that are unbiased, fair, and explainable Operationalize ML models for pipeline deployment and for external business systems that are more complex and less standardized
