Why does your DevOps process need feedback loops?
What do feedback loops mean in the software development lifecycle?Feedback loops are the process in which a change or output from one part of the software delivery value stream triggers a resulting action in another part of the value stream. For example, when a defect is logged during testing, it triggers a resulting change to the code in development.
Simply put, feedback loops are essentially an internal review of how the DevOps teams, systems, and users function.

What are the objectives of the feedback loop?

- Accelerate software delivery without compromising on the quality
- Bridge the gap between your software function and customers’ expectations
