Develocity Research Chart: Developer Pain Points without Develocity

About This Data

This data was sourced directly from verified users of Develocity by TechValidate.

TechValidate verifies the identity and organizational affiliation of all participants that contribute to published research data. When research participants so desire, we also guarantee their anonymity so that they may share information honestly and freely.

Respondent Details

Statements from the following verified business professionals were used to create this chart:

	Company Size	Industry	Response
Software Architect	Small Business	Computer Software	Too much time spent waiting on build and test feedback either locally or during CI Insufficient observability of analytics on build and test performance and regressions, failure trends, and productivity bottlenecks Managing the growth of build and test cycles as the codebase grows
Software Engineer	Medium Enterprise	Computer Software	Too much time spent waiting on build and test feedback either locally or during CI Insufficient observability of analytics on build and test performance and regressions, failure trends, and productivity bottlenecks Managing the growth of build and test cycles as the codebase grows Time-to-market impacts from an inefficient build and test process and tooling infrastructure
Software Engineer	Medium Enterprise	Computer Software	Too much time spent waiting on build and test feedback either locally or during CI Difficulty communicating build details between teams and collaborating when troubleshooting failures Cost impacts from an inefficient build and test process and tooling infrastructure Time-to-market impacts from an inefficient build and test process and tooling infrastructure
Engineering Manager	Medium Enterprise	Professional Services	Too much time spent waiting on build and test feedback either locally or during CI Inability to easily troubleshoot and determine the root cause of build, test and CI failures including flaky tests
Android Engineer	Medium Enterprise	Consumer Products	Too much time spent waiting on build and test feedback either locally or during CI Inability to easily troubleshoot and determine the root cause of build, test and CI failures including flaky tests Insufficient observability of analytics on build and test performance and regressions, failure trends, and productivity bottlenecks Cost impacts from an inefficient build and test process and tooling infrastructure Time-to-market impacts from an inefficient build and test process and tooling infrastructure
Mobile Platform Engineer	Medium Enterprise	Food	Too much time spent waiting on build and test feedback either locally or during CI Inability to easily troubleshoot and determine the root cause of build, test and CI failures including flaky tests Insufficient observability of analytics on build and test performance and regressions, failure trends, and productivity bottlenecks Managing the growth of build and test cycles as the codebase grows
Build/Release Engineer	Fortune 500	Computer Hardware	Too much time spent waiting on build and test feedback either locally or during CI Inability to easily troubleshoot and determine the root cause of build, test and CI failures including flaky tests Insufficient observability of analytics on build and test performance and regressions, failure trends, and productivity bottlenecks
Mobile Platform Engineer	Medium Enterprise	Financial Services	Too much time spent waiting on build and test feedback either locally or during CI Inability to easily troubleshoot and determine the root cause of build, test and CI failures including flaky tests Insufficient observability of analytics on build and test performance and regressions, failure trends, and productivity bottlenecks Managing the growth of build and test cycles as the codebase grows Time-to-market impacts from an inefficient build and test process and tooling infrastructure
Android Engineer	Small Business	Media & Entertainment	Too much time spent waiting on build and test feedback either locally or during CI Inability to easily troubleshoot and determine the root cause of build, test and CI failures including flaky tests Insufficient observability of analytics on build and test performance and regressions, failure trends, and productivity bottlenecks Managing the growth of build and test cycles as the codebase grows Difficulty achieving success with DevOps initiatives due to existing friction in the development process Cost impacts from an inefficient build and test process and tooling infrastructure
Software Engineer	Small Business	Automotive & Transport	Inability to easily troubleshoot and determine the root cause of build, test and CI failures including flaky tests Issues with recruiting/retention related to the developer experience (e.g. Unreliable build and test toolchain) Difficulty communicating build details between teams and collaborating when troubleshooting failures
