DevSecOps Pipeline-Release and Deploy Stage

SinCaire is a software development company that builds web applications for various clients. To gauge how successfully it has implemented DevSecOps, the organization adopted the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) high-value DevSecOps metrics.

Which of the following metrics, as implemented by SinCaire, measures the time elapsed between a code commit and its release to production, while tracking bug fixes and new features as they move through the development, testing, and production phases?

  • A Time to value
  • B Mean time to recovery (for applications)
  • C Change lead time (for application)
  • D Change volume (for application)
Explanation

Change lead time (for application) is the GSA high-value DevSecOps metric that tracks the elapsed time from when code is committed to when it is deployed into production, following bug fixes and new features as they progress through development, testing, and production stages. This distinguishes it from mean time to recovery (which measures restoration time after an incident), change volume (which measures the amount of change delivered), and time to value (which measures how quickly a delivered change produces business value).
