Background: Due to the complexity involved in robotic software development, the progress in the field has been slow. Component-based software engineering was observed to have a strong influence on the improvement of the robotic software development process and its adoption achieved good results. DevOps was seen to be compatible and produced efficient results in software engineering. Objectives: The aim of this thesis work is to present the potential usage of DevOps practices in robotic software development. 15 DevOps practices were selected from prior research from software engineering and mapped to the robotic software development process and checked for success in terms of applicability and effectiveness. Methods: By performing a research synthesis of the literature, the usage of DevOps practices in robotic software development is proposed and presented. Interview based survey was performed by approaching industry experts on robotic software development to get their response on the results of the research synthesis. Results: The applicability of the DevOps practices in robotic software development is presented and the implications of the potential usage of the practices in the proposed manner are discussed. The potential advantages and limitations of the proposed mapping are discussed and presented. Conclusions: DevOps, like other software development frameworks, has various observable advantages when applied in robotic software development. The interviews confirmed the need for DevOps to be adapted into robotic software development and the benefits it has.
