Our 2020 DevSecOps Survey found faster releases and changing roles

The 2022 Global DevSecOps Survey reveals significant insights from over 5,000 DevOps professionals, highlighting the evolving roles within software development as influenced by DevOps practices. The findings indicate that 83% of practitioners release code faster, with a notable 60% deploying code frequently, while developers increasingly take on responsibilities traditionally associated with operations, such as infrastructure management and security, reflecting a "shift left" approach where security and testing are integrated earlier in the development process. This integration is fostering closer collaboration between developers and security teams, with 65% of security professionals acknowledging their involvement in cross-functional teams, although challenges remain in terms of early bug detection and resolution. The survey also identifies testing as a frequent cause of release delays, despite nearly three-quarters of organizations moving testing earlier in the development cycle, with approaches like test-driven development and real-time testing gaining traction. Overall, respondents express a strong sense of preparedness for the future, with ongoing learning and adaptation being key themes, as DevOps continues to transform the landscape of software development and operations.
