Is it worth adopting DevOps practices in Global Software Engineering? Possible challenges and benefits

The software industry is adopting the DevOps paradigm to an increasingly frequent extent. In addition, the trend of developing software in a distributed manner greatly increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced team members from software companies to work remotely. We present the r...
