👉 In this episode, we break down Agile vs DevOps, two essential approaches in modern software development and IT operations. From iterative development and customer-focused feedback to continuous integration and automated delivery, you’ll learn the key differences, when to use each, and how they impact team collaboration, efficiency, and project success. Whether you’re a fresher exploring software methodologies or an experienced tester preparing for interviews, this guide will give you a crystal-clear comparison.
🔑 Key takeaways:
