Resumen

DevOps is the answer to the dysfunctions in the areas of software development and operations, and DevOps has collaboration, productivity and automation as its priorities. Since its appearance, there have been several secondary publications and few tertiary studies, so it is useful to keep a tertiary study on DevOps adoption up to date. The objective of this study is to identify and organize secondary studies on DevOps adoption. To do this, a systematic mapping study was performed. The six databases were consulted and 346 articles were obtained, resulting in 102 secondary studies being selected after the process. The analysis indicates that the most frequently discussed topics are best practices and recommendations for DevOps adoption. The practices that have been most frequently reported are continuous integration and delivery, monitoring, and test automation. Finally, there is a good willingness on the part of the development, operations, and management teams to adopt DevOps in organizations.
