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

	Company Size	Industry	Response
Software 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 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
