Abstract
This study examines the impact of DevOps practices on enterprise software delivery success, focusing on enhancing R&D efficiency and source code management (SCM). Using a qualitative methodology, data were collected from case studies of large-scale enterprises implementing DevOps to explore how these practices streamline software development processes. Findings reveal that DevOps significantly improves R&D productivity by fostering cross-functional collaboration, reducing development cycle times, and enhancing software quality through effective SCM practices, such as version control and continuous integration. Additionally, SCM tools within DevOps enable precise change tracking and reliable code maintenance, further supporting faster, more robust software delivery. However, the study identifies challenges, including cultural resistance and tool integration issues, that can hinder DevOps…
