Abstract

DevOps is a methodology which pursues the improvement of software delivery time and quality. IT companies lack models or standards that help them through the adoption process. Furthermore, there is no consensus of what DevOps is composed of, and many researchers have identified several challenges in the adoption process. In this paper we describe our attempts to analyze the approaches of industry for DevOps adoption. A survey aimed for DevOps certifying organizations was carried out. The responses of the survey were scarce, and the preliminary findings have been reported.
