Slide 37
Important to set targets Throughput The average number of workflow runs per day Duration The average length of time for a workflow to run Mean time to recovery The average time between failures & their next success Success rate The number of successful runs / the total number of runs over a period of time Median CircleCI Developer Suggested Benchmarks 0.7 times/day Merge on any pull request < 4 minutes 5-10 minutes < 56 minutes Under 1 hour 80% for default branch 90% or better on default branch
Slide 38
Things that make you go 🤔
Slide 39
Success Rate on default branch higher than on non-default
Slide 40
Duration on default branches faster at every percentile
Slide 41
Recovery Time lower on default branches at every percentile
Slide 42
What development practices definitively work?
Slide 43
Success Rate does not correlate with company size
Slide 44
Duration is longest for teams of one
Slide 45
Recovery Time decreases with increased team size (up to 200)
Slide 46
Performance is better with >1 contributor
Slide 47
Software is collaborative
