What is There About DevOps Assessment? A Systematic Mapping

“…it was observed that most of the studies were conducted in Europe with a total of 15 (62.5%), out of which 5 ([35, 36, 44, 51, 52]) were proposed in the Netherlands, followed by Norway with 2 related studies ( [31,39]), and finally Germany, Austria, Spain, Finland, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal, and Sweden with 1 study each, for a total of 8 related studies ( [32,33,34,41,42,47,49,53]). On the other hand, (i) 3 studies were conducted in Africa (12.5%), out of which 2 were conducted in South Africa ( [40,45]) and 1 in Saudi Arabia ( [37]); (ii) 3 related studies (12.5%) were identified in South America, out of which 2 were proposed in Colombia ( [38,43]) and 1 in Brazil ( [50]); (iii) 2 related studies were identified in Asia (8.3%), and they were proposed by authors located in the geographical area of Turkey, which belongs to the Asian continent ( [46,48]); and (iv) 1 related study was carried out in North America, specifically in the United States (4.2 %) ( [54]).…”

“…On the other hand, [48] and [51] were cited 15 times each. [37,44,47] were cited 9 times each, [45] was cited 6 times, [39] was cited 4 times, [35,38,49] were cited 3 times, [52] was cited 2 times, [33,36,50] were cited 1 time each. Finally, [32,34,40,41,42,43,54] have not been cited because they were recently published and have not been sufficiently disseminated to be identified by the scientific community.…”

“…In relation to the type of solution, it was identified that: (i) in [49] an exploratory study analyzing different tools to assess DevOps in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) dedicated to software is carried out; (ii) in [38,39,43,55] SLM was carried out to identify the elements to be considered for applying DevOps in software companies; (iii) in [34,37,40,51] studies were carried out to know the state of the art in relation to the use of maturity models to assess DevOps; (iv) in [47,52,56,57] metrics are proposed to evaluate specific practices such as construction, integration, and continuous deployment during the different stages of DevOps adoption; (v) in ( [32,45]) competence models are proposed; (vi) in ( [34,35,37,40,41,42,44,46,50,51]) maturity models are proposed; (vii) in [32] a collaboration model is proposed; (viii) in [50] an evaluation model adapted to DevOps based on SMM (Scrum Maturity Method) is proposed; (ix) in [33] a method to certify the use of DevOps best practices was applied; (x) in [31] a model to evaluate the development, security, and operations (DevSecOps) through the values and principles proposed in DevOps is suggested; and (xi) in [54] a standard for the adoption of DevOps in software companies is proposed.…”

“…The analyzed studies were segmented into two categories: (i) studies that propose methodological solutions to assess DevOps (87.5%) ( [31,33,34,35,39,40,41,42,44,45,46,47,50,51,52,54,55,57,58]); and (ii) studies that perform a comparative analysis of tools suggested to assess DevOps (12.5%) ( [32,48,49]). To establish a broader state of knowledge regarding the use of tools, an exploratory study was carried out based on the methodology proposed in [59], in which a total of 13 tools developed by different companies seeking to assess DevOps were identified, some of the aspects were: (i) accessibility (A1), to find out if the tool is free to access, free with a trial period, or paid; (ii) method used for evaluation (A2), it is carried out through surveys, frameworks, consulting, reference models, or other; and (iii) objective or scope of the evaluation (A3), the tool evaluates the process, practices, activities, roles, tasks, principles, or other.…”

“…To conduct the analysis, the classification of large, medium, and small companies was used as a criterion according to the number of employees defined by the European Union in regulation N° 651/2014 [73] and it was complemented by the definition of microenterprise proposed in [74]. As a result, 14 studies (58.3%) ( [31,34,37,38,39,42,43,45,46,47,48,51,52,53]) were not applied in software development companies, 4 studies (16.7%) ( [33,36,40,50]) were applied only in large companies, 1 study (4.2 %) [35] was applied in a medium-sized company, and 1 study (4.2%) [41] belongs to an unknown category. On the other hand, studies evaluated in multiple companies were also conducted: 1 study [49] (4.2%) conducted the evaluation of their proposal in 1 medium-sized and 1 small company; 1 study (4.2%) [44] carried it out in a medium and a large company; 1 study (4.2%) [32] carried out multiple case studies in 3 large, 3 medium, and 3 small companies; and 1 study (4.2%) [54] proposes a standard that can be applied transversally in companies of any type.…”
