“…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]).…”

DevOps has been established as a framework used by software development companies seeking to set mechanisms to automate their development processes. Consequently, over the last decade, many companies have adopted DevOps to support their project’s development process and perform continuous improvement tasks to ensure that it is applied correctly. To achieve this, companies are looking for solutions that allow them to evaluate the degree of implementation of DevOps in their internal processes. In this sense, the objective of this study focuses on identifying, through a systematic mapping of the literature, the mechanisms used to assess DevOps in software development companies. According to the above, the current state of knowledge related to the proposal of processes, models, techniques, tools, and methodological guides is presented to conduct the DevOps assessment. As a result, it is noted that there are multiple methodological solutions that seek to assess DevOps; however, a high degree of heterogeneity was evidenced in the identified solutions, resulting in the need to establish a clear framework that serves as the basis for proposing a generic, structured, and unambiguous DevOps assessment model applicable to software companies.

“…For instance, Jalali et al [27] conclude that agility is judged differently and is not a well-defined concept. This is also reflected in the considerable effort that is spent on defining agile maturity, e.g., [20], [28], [29]. Yet, so far, there is no standardized agile maturity model that is comparable with and as widely accepted as CMMI or ISO/IEC 15504.…”

Together with many success stories, promises such as the increase in production speed and the improvement in stakeholders' collaboration have contributed to making agile a transformation in the software industry in which many companies want to take part. However, driven either by a natural and expected evolution or by contextual factors that challenge the adoption of agile methods as prescribed by their creator(s), software processes in practice mutate into hybrids over time. Are these still agile? In this article, we investigate the question: what makes a software development method agile? We present an empirical study grounded in a large-scale international survey that aims to identify software development methods and practices that improve or tame agility. Based on 556 data points, we analyze the perceived degree of agility in the implementation of standard project disciplines and its relation to used development methods and practices. Our findings suggest that only a small number of participants operate their projects in a purely traditional or agile manner (under 15%). That said, most project disciplines and most practices show a clear trend towards increasing degrees of agility. Compared to the methods used to develop software, the selection of practices has a stronger effect on the degree of agility of a given discipline. Finally, there are no methods or practices that explicitly guarantee or prevent agility. We conclude that agility cannot be defined solely at the process level. Additional factors need to be taken into account when trying to implement or improve agility in a software company. Finally, we discuss the field of software process-related research in the light of our findings and present a roadmap for future research.

“…En [23], se presenta un estudio de caso múltiple donde se evalúan las herramientas software existentes para la evaluación de la agilidad a partir de nueve criterios de calidad: i) cobertura de principios ágiles, ii) disponibilidad, iii) capacidad de orientación al evaluador, iv) capacidad de almacenamiento de la evaluación, v) reportes automatizados, vi) funcionalidades de comparación de resultados, vii) diferentes modos de uso (individual, grupal, en paralelo), viii) diferentes alcances de evaluación (proyectos, equipos y organizaciones), y ix) extensibilidad del modelo de evaluación usado por la herramienta. El análisis de las herramientas permitió concluir que ninguna cumple con todos los criterios de calidad mencionados anteriormente, además se basan específicamente en determinar si los equipos adoptan un conjunto específico de prácticas ágiles.…”

Agile software development approaches provide great benefits for organizations; however, their implementation is subject to many challenges. For organizations is important to know the level of agility achieved and the gaps in their transformation process in order to implement improvements in their processes and take advantage of the agile approaches. Keeping this in mind, this article presents a systematic mapping of the literature about the evaluation of agility in software development organizations. As a result, 18 studies were found, which were analyzed and compared taking into account the type of study, the relationship of the evaluation with the principles and agile values, the defined evaluation criteria, the validation methods used, and the proposed tools. In addition, the factors that influence the assessment of agility and the aspects that motivate the interest in this research stream are exposed.
