A Multivocal Literature Review on the use of DevOps for e-Learning systems

DevOps is an approach to reduce software development times by integrating a set of tools in order to get a better and automated transition towards production. DevOps is highly connected to tools and to Cloud Computing. On the other hand, e-Learning tools are also evolving towards the cloud. In this scenario, the connection of this two research fields seems to be promising. However, to the best of authors' knowledge the interaction of both has not been studied in deep. To bridge this gap, in this paper, a multivocal literature review is presented. By means of this systematic approach, authors analyze scientific and professional literature on the topic. Results reveal a nascent but still modest interest in DevOps in e-Learning solutions. Authors believe that the increasing adoption of cloud e-Learning solutions and the increasing pressure to deploy new versions of software with boost the interest in this research field.
