Inner Circle Podcast Episode 020 An application is no longer a product. In the world of cloud, and DevOps, and containers, an application is a process. There is no distinct beginning or end to development. The application is a living thing that cycles through a feedback loop--constantly identifying and resolving issues and consistently improving and evolving. When you have continuous development and continuous deployment, though, you also need continuous testing and continuous security that can keep
