DORA and DevOpsSoftware factory governance
Software factory governance is the set of policies, controls, ownership rules, and review practices used to guide software delivery toward security, reliability, compliance, and product goals. Effective governance makes expectations visible and provides a workable path for exceptions.
DORA and DevOpsSoftware factory stability
Software factory stability is the ability of a software delivery system to release changes predictably, limit the harm from failures, and recover when intervention is required. It describes the behavior of the system around delivery, rather than the absence of all change or risk.
DORA and DevOpsSoftware supply chain
Software supply chain is a release engineering and DevOps concept for controlling how software changes are prepared, introduced, or understood.
DORA and DevOpsStaged rollout
Staged rollout is a release engineering and DevOps concept for controlling how software changes are prepared, introduced, or understood.
DORA and DevOpsStandard change
Standard change is a release engineering and DevOps concept for controlling how software changes are prepared, introduced, or understood.

Test execution time is a software delivery concept used to describe a specific event, interval, control, or operating condition in the path from source change to production behavior. A useful definition names the boundary, unit, and decision the measure supports.
DORA and DevOpsTest run failure rate
Test run failure rate is a software delivery concept used to describe a specific event, interval, control, or operating condition in the path from source change to production behavior. A useful definition names the boundary, unit, and decision the measure supports.
DORA and DevOpsToil ratio
Toil ratio is a software delivery concept used to describe a specific event, interval, control, or operating condition in the path from source change to production behavior. A useful definition names the boundary, unit, and decision the measure supports.
DORA and DevOpsTraffic shadowing

DORA and DevOpsTrunk-based development
Trunk-based development is a version control practice where developers integrate small changes into a shared main branch frequently. Short-lived branches and feature flags can keep incomplete work safe while reducing long-lived merge divergence.
DORA and DevOpsTrunk-based release
Trunk-based release is a release engineering and DevOps concept for controlling how software changes are prepared, introduced, or understood.
