Abstract

DevOps has become an important set of organisational and technical practices in software development under the agile umbrella. Many efforts are still being made in this field, mainly focused on the inclusion of metrics for monitoring progress. Gathering metrics is a difficult task, but it can provide insight into the performance of the software delivery process. The current status of the definition, application and implementation of metrics in DevOps projects and processes is of interest to software practitioners. Thus, the objective of this article is to analyze documents regarding the impact of metrics in DevOps projects. 103 documents were obtained from the Scopus database to analyze them through the bibliometric method considering several aspects. The bibliometric analysis performed included author analysis, author affiliation, authors’ countries, keyword analysis, citation analysis, and network analysis. The results indicate that DevOps research is not centralized in a specific group of researchers. Moreover, the most significant contributions of DevOps are related to continuous integration, software design, and software testing. The bibliometric analysis presented in this article helps to identify the current state of the DevOps literature and provides an insightful discussion of future research trends.

DevOps指标的文献计量分析

DevOps已经成为敏捷框架下软件开发中一套重要的组织和技术实践。在这一领域仍在作出许多努力，主要集中于纳入监测进展的指标。收集度量标准是一项困难的任务，但是它可以提供对软件交付过程性能的洞察。DevOps项目和过程中度量的定义、应用和实现的当前状态是软件从业者感兴趣的。因此，本文的目标是分析有关DevOps项目中度量标准影响的文档。从Scopus数据库中获取103篇文献，采用文献计量学方法从几个方面进行分析。文献计量学分析包括作者分析、作者隶属关系、作者所在国家、关键词分析、引文分析和网络分析。结果表明，DevOps研究并没有集中在一个特定的研究小组中。此外，DevOps最重要的贡献与持续集成、软件设计和软件测试有关。本文中提供的文献计量分析有助于确定DevOps文献的当前状态，并提供了对未来研究趋势的深刻讨论。
