Abstract

Companies embrace digitalization to have a shorter time to market. This drive for digitalization also demands that the quality of products and services is high. Containerization is one of the concepts that are core to achieve these objectives in information technology today as it is central to the development and delivery of software products. Therefore, to meet the expectations, the containerization process needs state-of-the-art quality assurance. To achieve this, a quality assurance methodical procedure is being developed with bi-directional traceability. Its usefulness is demonstrated by integrating and successfully applying it into the continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipeline of the Volkswagen Group IT.
