Tiivistelmä
Competition in the global marketplace has continued to drive the need for faster development and release of software applications as well as easier maintenance of existing ones. DevOps as a software development methodology enables these possibilities by bridging the communication and collaboration gap that often exist between traditionally independent development and operations team. This report aims to identify and investigate factors that can affect data ethics; the moral obligation of collecting, protecting, and using personal data within the DevOps environment. The research was conducted using non-systematic literature review of past works and semi-structured interview. The result of the semi-structured interview was analysed using thematic analysis while a process model for implementation of Data Ethics framework in DevOps is developed based on design science research method. The research identifies organisational culture, size of organisation, lack of automated tools to detect data ethical breaches and inadequate training & awareness as some of the responsible factors. Mitigation and improvement strategies especially on DevOps personnel trainings and implementation of a Data governance framework is provided in the report.
