Their upcoming “2018 Accelerate State of DevOps” report is the result of five years of research, with over 30,000 data points from thousands of companies, to understand precisely what practices enable teams to deliver better software faster.

  • Why and how high-performing teams make Continuous Testing a linchpin of their DevOps process
  • What specific strategies and practices enable high-performing teams to deliver faster and dedicate more resources to innovation
  • Which quality-related technology and process investments have the greatest impact on DevOps success
