Good stories cannot attract readers across cultures without good translations. But translations are seldom fully appreciated. We hope to raise more awareness of intercultural translation and spotlight the importance of intercultural understanding. We support translators to bring cultures and people closer together worldwide.

Take the reader into my world, or no, actually in my two worlds. I will let the reader feel that you can be at home in both worlds and that cultural fusion can provide a wealth of experience - Yue Tao.

DevOps Continuous Security

Continuous security is an approach that aims to keep an organization in control from three perspectives: 1. The business perspective: Business value streams are in control of the identified risks by continuously testing the effectiveness of the controls deployed and recording evidence. 2. The development perspective: Development value streams are in control by integrally including the non-functional requirements for information security in the development. 3. The operations perspective: Operations value streams are in control for the production of the new and changed ICT services through an adequate design of the CI/CD secure pipeline in which controls automatically test the non-functional requirements. This book is a publication in the Continuous Everything series. The content consists of a discussion of the application of ISO 27001 on the basis of three sets of security practices, namely Governance, Risk and Quality. The practices are provided with a definition and objective. In addition, examples and best practices are given. The continuous security concept is designed to be used in Agile Scrum (development) and DevOps (Development & Operations) environments. To this end, it connects seamlessly to common Agile management models. This Agile approach to information security provides you with a powerful tool to get a grip on the compliance of your Agile system development and management.

DevOps Continuous Learning

Continuous Learning is an approach to get a grip on the competences needed to realize your organisation's strategy. To this end, Continuous Learning offers Human Resource Management an approach that explores the organisational needs and competences step by step and converts these needs into competency profiles. A competency profile is defined here as the set of knowledge, skills and behaviour at a certain Bloom level that produces a certain result. Competency profiles are then merged into roles that in turn form functions. In this way an Agile job house is obtained. This book is a publication in the Continuous Everything series. The content consists of a discussion of the Continuous Learning model that helps you to translate a value chain strategy step by step into a personal roadmap for employees. This book also indicates how to organize Continuous Learning in your organisation based on the paradigm of the change manager and architecture principles and models.

DevOps Continuous Auditing

Continuous Auditing is an approach that aims to enable DevOps teams to demonstrate in a short cyclical manner that they are in control when realizing, taking into production and managing the new or modified products and services at a rapid pace. As a result, compliance risks are prevented by already thinking about which risks to mitigate or eliminate from the requirements and the design based on them. This book is a publication in the Continuous Everything series. The content consists of a discussion of the Continuous Auditing Pyramid model that describes the six steps to give substance to Continuous Auditing, namely: determining scope, determining goals, identifying risks, realizing controls, setting up monitoring facilities and demonstrating effectiveness of controls. The Continuous Auditing concept thus encompasses the entire lifecycle of risk management. As a result, the risks are continuously under control. With this Agile approach to auditing you have a powerful tool to get a grip on the compliance of your Agile system development and management.

DevOps Continuous Integration

Continuous Integration is a holistic Lean software development approach that aims to produce and put into production continuous software in an incremental and iterative way, where waste reduction is of paramount importance. The word 'holistic' refers to the PPT concepts: People (multiple expert), Process (knowledge of business and management processes) and Technology (application and infrastructure programming). The incremental and iterative method makes fast feedback possible because functionalities can be put into production earlier. This reduces waste because defects are found earlier and can be repaired faster. This book is a publication in the Continuous Everything series. The content consists of treating Continuous Integration based on a definition, business case, architecture, design, and best practices. Concepts discussed here are the change paradigm, the application of Continuous Integration, use of repositories, code quality, green code, green build, refactoring, security-based development and built-in failure mode. In this way you are quickly up to date in the field of DevOps developments with regard to Continuous Integration.

DevOps Continuous Testing

Continuous Testing is an approach that aims to provide rapid feedback in the software development process by defining the 'what' and 'how' questions as test cases before starting to build the solution. As a result, the concepts of requirements, test cases and acceptance criteria are integrated in one approach. The term 'continuous' refers to the application of test management in all phases of the deployment pipeline, from requirements to production. The term 'continuous' also includes the aspects People, Process and Technology. This makes test management holistic. This book is a publication in the Continuous Everything series. This book is a publication in the Continuous Everything series. The content consists of treating Continuous Testing based on a definition, business case, architecture, design, and best practices.

DevOps Continuous Deployment

Continuous Deployment is a holistic Lean production approach that aims to deploy and release continuous software in an incremental and iterative way, where time to market and high quality are of paramount importance. The word 'holistic' refers to the PPT concepts: People (multiple expert), Process (knowledge of business and management processes) and Technology (application and infrastructure programming. The incremental and iterative deployments enable fast feedback because errors are more likely to are observed in production of the CI/CD secure pipeline, making recovery actions faster and cheaper, leading to a waste reduction. This book is a publication in the Continuous Everything series. The content consists of treating Continuous Deployment based on a definition, business case, architecture, design, and best practices. Concepts that are discussed here are the change paradigm, the application of Continuous Deployment, a step-by-step plan for the systematic arrangement of Continuous Deployment and many patterns to allow deployments to take place. In this way you are quickly up to date in the field of DevOps developments in the field of Continuous Deployment.
