Abstract

The software engineering field is on the move. The contributions of software solutions for IT-inspired business automation, acceleration, and augmentation are enormous. The business values are also rapidly growing with the constant and consistent maturity and stability of software technologies, processes, infrastructures, frameworks, architectural patterns, and tools. On the other hand, the uncertainty in the global economy has a direct bearing on the IT budgets of worldwide organizations. That is, they are expecting greater flexibility, responsiveness, and accountability from their IT division, which is being chronically touted as the cost center. This insists on shorter delivery cycles and on delivering low-cost yet high-quality solutions. Cloud computing prescribes a distinguished delivery model that helps IT organizations to provide quality solutions efficiently in a manner that suits to evolving business needs. In this chapter, we are to focus how software-development tasks can get greatly simplified and streamlined with cloud-centric development processes, practices, platforms, and patterns.
