Mobile is unique. It provides unique opportunities and presents unique challenges. To take these on, mobile product organizations need to align their teams to work together efficiently and adopt best practices in Mobile DevOps. But it’s difficult to develop a roadmap for improvement without understanding current strengths and weaknesses, and benchmarking Mobile DevOps maturity against similar organizations. Our survey was designed to give mobile teams a way to asses their Mobile DevOps performance, productivity, and maturity, and to give steer on where and how to make improvements.

so far

Deploying new
versions of the app to
the app stores
Cca 35% deploys every 15 to
30 days
Cca 30% deploys every 30 to
90 days

10. 1 Creation
How the top performers manage their dependencies
They tend to audit and update all their dependencies regularly (62%)
Those who are not in this group are more likely to do it less frequently. (50%)

11. 2 Testing
Approximately what percentage
of your releases are hotfixes?
On average, 24% of respondents’ releases
are hotfixes, the median is 16%
Most of the users do less than 50% hotfixes,
based on the standard deviation.

12. 2 Testing
Top performers and technologies
for testing
Top performers more likely to use:
- Automated UI tests
- Contract testing
- Snapshot testing
than the other companies
Tiny bit less likely to do static security
analysis.

13. 2 Testing
Top performers and technologies
for testing
Top performers more likely to use:

- Contract testing
- Snapshot testing
than the other companies
Tiny bit less likely to do static security
analysis.
Top performers trust their
automated tests
They are more confident in their
automated tests before a release than the
other companies.

14. 2 Testing
Top performers mostly focus on
doing:
- 88% - Unit tests
- 66% - automated UI tests
- 43% - code coverage analysis
- 33% - performance testing
- 31% - static security analysis
- 31% - snapshot testing

Top performers and device
testing
They are more likely to try to test on as
many devices as possible, but at least test
on the most popular ones in their user
base/potential audience. (57% vs 42%)
Top performers tend to test on as many
devices as possible twice likely.
