An overwhelming majority of organizations prioritize software quality over speed, yet still experience customer-impacting issues regularly, according to OverOps.

The report, based on a survey of over 600 software development and delivery professionals, revealed that the current level of DevOps investment is not sufficient for ensuring software reliability.

"The move to DevOps and the increasing velocity at which teams are delivering software is unprecedented. At the same time, they are dealing with much higher levels of risk and vulnerability," said Herb Krasner, an Advisory Board Member of the Consortium for IT Software Quality.

In the battle between speed and quality, most software professionals choose quality: The survey found that 70% of respondents say quality is paramount, and they would rather delay the product roadmap than risk a critical error impacting their users.

Organizations are moving faster than ever: Continuous integration and continuous delivery, both hallmarks of accelerated software delivery pipelines, were among the top three areas of DevOps investment for survey respondents.
