Second Annual DevOps Survey Reveals 70% of Engineering Teams Choose Application Quality Over Software Delivery SpeedOverOps, the leading continuous reliability solution, today released the results of its 2020 survey report, The State of Software Quality, which found that the overwhelming majority of organizations prioritize quality over speed, yet still experience customer-impacting issues regularly. The report, based on a survey of over 600 software development and delivery professionals, revealed that current DevOps investments are not sufficient for ensuring software reliability, and 2020 plans to invest in new tools like automated code analysis could be the key to solving this challenge. "The move to DevOps and the increasing velocity at which teams are delivering software is unprecedented. At the same time, they are dealing with much higher levels of risk and vulnerability," said Herb Krasner, an Advisory Board Member of the Consortium for IT Software Quality (CISQ). "Although the issue of poor-quality software has existed since the dawn of IT, we have reached a turning point where we need to be much more serious about how we address these issues going forward. As such, the results and recommendations from the OverOps State of Software Quality report are important and timely." The State of Software Quality survey examined a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from how often organizations encounter customer-impacting issues, to primary areas of DevOps adoption and the top tools participants use or plan to use to address application quality. Key takeaways include:
