TechValidate Research on Develocity


Develocity Case Study

Hinge

Introduction

This case study of Hinge is based on a May 2023 survey of Develocity customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“Develocity has been great and it’s working very nicely.”

“Using Develocity has been great. We’ve seen a reduction in build times and it’s great to be able to keep an eye on any performance regressions.
I would (and have) recommend it!”

Challenges

Challenges experienced prior to implementing Develocity:

  • 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
  • Difficulty achieving success with DevOps initiatives due to existing friction in the development process

Use Case

Has utilized Develocity for 0-6 Months.

They have not established a dedicated Developer Productivity Engineering team.

Experience with the following Develocity capabilities:

  • Build Scan™: Very Useful
  • Build Cache: Killer
  • Test Distribution: Don’t Know/Haven’t Tried It
  • Build & Test Failure Analytics (inc. Flaky Test Management Capabilities): Don’t Know/Haven’t Tried It
  • Performance and Failure Trends Dashboards: Didn’t Move the Needle

Results

The surveyed company achieved the following results with Develocity:

  • Payback period for their investment in Develocity was realized immediately.

Level of agreement with the following statements:

  • Develocity consistently exceeds our expectations for service and support and as a strategic technology partner: agree completely
  • Develocity is a mission-critical component of our developer productivity strategy: agree completely
  • Developer Productivity Engineering will become a de facto industry-standard software practice much like Agile and DevOps: agree completely
  • Develocity scales well and will meet the service-level expectations of any enterprise-wide deployment: agree completely

After using the following Develocity tools, reduction in build and test cycle times:

  • Build Cache: 25-50%
