Abstract¶
This thesis addresses the problem of insufficient tool support for teaching DevOps fundamentals at universities. While DevOps practices such as version control workflows, continuous integration, code review and automated testing are an essential part of modern software development, their teaching remains largely manual and lacks automated feedback mechanisms. The thesis analyses existing approaches to DevOps education, identifies their shortcomings, and proposes a design for a web-based platform that integrates with GitLab to provide real-time monitoring, automated compliance scoring and actionable feedback on student adherence to DevOps workflows.
Keywords: DevOps, teaching tools, continuous integration, GitLab, automated assessment, compliance scoring, software engineering education
