Abstract

Development and Operations (DevOps) is a set of principles and practices that enhance collaboration between development and operations teams, streamlining the software development lifecycle through automation. Transparency is key in optimizing processes and fostering cooperation among teams. This transparency allows open access to information and facilitates effective communication, contributing to improved software quality and decision-making.

The objective of this document is to analyze the role of transparency in DevOps as a key factor in strengthening collaborative culture and enhancing software quality in ICT teams. This analysis is based on a documentary review using the indexing technique, which enabled the identification of various authors' perspectives on how transparency optimizes auditing, reviews, and early problem resolution.

As a result, we found different authors affirm that transparency facilitates processes across various stages of the software development lifecycle, allowing problems to be addressed in advance. However, they also highlight the need to implement metrics to access information, as failing to do so could turn transparency into a disadvantage rather than an advantage.
