Tricentis announced the findings from a global survey of more
than 2,600 DevOps practitioners-
AI-Augmented DevOps: The Next Frontier.
The study examines AI augmentation in DevOps environments and finds the
majority of organizations value AI-augmented DevOps and recognize its
potential to fuel innovation and impact business.
The
survey found that testing is where organizations are expecting the
greatest value from AI-augmented DevOps, with nearly 70% of respondents
rating the potential of AI-augmented testing as extremely or very
valuable.
Sixty-five
percent of respondents thought AI-augmented testing is particularly
well-suited for functional testing. Respondents also noted UI testing,
unit testing, and performance testing as areas of promise for the
application of AI-based technology.
"The
survey results confirm that AI-augmented DevOps lives up to the hype
and is here to stay," said Mav Turner, vice president, product,
Tricentis. "As organizations mature their DevOps process, they will be
looking for more opportunities to implement AI-augmented solutions to
streamline the entire DevOps pipeline, reducing overall monitoring and
testing time. This will ultimately accelerate releases and free up
valuable resources to focus on innovation and business impact."
Respondents
also expressed that introducing AI into the DevOps process has the
potential to alleviate major business and technical pain points,
including making it easier for junior employees to perform more
complicated tasks, reducing costs, increasing release frequency, and
more.
"AI
has the potential to positively impact DevOps processes, and we found
that mature DevOps teams are already achieving benefits," said Mike
Rothman, Chief Strategy Officer and GM at Techstrong Research. "Our
recent study shows that organizations across the globe at all stages of
DevOps maturity believe that AI-augmented technology will help them
manage the volume and complexity of software releases, improve code
quality, and stay competitive in today's fast-paced market."
