Abstract To enter the production stage, in DevOps practices candidate software releases have to pass quality gates, where they are assessed meet established target values for key indicators of interest. We believe reliability should be an important such indicator, as it greatly contributes end‐user satisfaction. propose DevOpRET , approach testing part acceptance stage DevOps. relies on operational‐profile–based testing, a common assessment technique. leverages usage and failure data monitored operations continuously refine its estimate. evaluate accuracy efficiency through controlled experiments with real‐world open source platform microservice architectures benchmark. The results show that provides accurate efficient estimates true over subsequent cycles.
