Summary

To measure success in automation, teams need to establish key performance indicators (KPIs) that track metrics such as build speed, test coverage, and code quality. By setting these KPIs, teams can identify areas for improvement, increase developer confidence, and optimize their automation processes. Effective KPIs should be clear, discrete, and meaningful to the project, and should be used to monitor progress against a baseline. Teams that automate the creation of KPI information will achieve better results than those who manually create metrics from a CI environment. By establishing the right KPIs and implementing automated testing strategies, teams can deliver faster deployments, improve code quality, and increase productivity.
