As per present IT scenario every development team should have a fully automated deployment process. But in actual many teams have a partially manual deployment process and most have an entirely manual process.
Some of the benefits of Automated Deployment process are:
Less Error-prone and more repeatable: Manual deployments are error prone. This is because it involves humans doing stuff. Automated deployments don’t suffer from variability. Once configured, the process is set, and will be the same every time a release is initiated. If it works the first time you deploy your software into a given environment, it’ll work the 100th time.
Save Extra time: Performing and validating a manual deployment process is often a time-consuming, thankless task. This job can fall to developers and testers in a development team who would otherwise be spending their time producing the next set of awesome features and improvements to the software.
Anyone can deploy software: In case of automated software deployment any team member from team can deploy software because software is captured in the system, not in an individual’s brain.
Deployment can be done more frequently: Frequent releases are desirable for many reasons, but the crux of the matter is that frequent releases promote truly agile software development. Teams that release frequently can deliver valuable features to their users more often and in incremental steps.
Easy deployment process to a new Environment: if software needs to be deployed to a new test environment or if a new client installation needs to be created, the overhead of deploying to that additional target is negligible. It is simply a case of configuring your existing set-up and relying on your tried and tested release automation to get the job done.
Automated deployment process is always proving beneficial for every company, rather these software deployment services should be performed only by the experts in that field.
