Abstract. DevOps is a conceptual framework for reintegrating development and operations of Information Systems. We performed a Systematic Mapping Study to explore DevOps. 26 articles out of 139 were selected, studied and summarized. Based on this a concept table was constructed. We discovered that DevOps has not been adequately studied in scientific literature. There is relatively little research available on DevOps and the studies are often of low quality. We also found that DevOps is supported by a culture of collaboration, automation, measurement, information sharing and web service usage. DevOps benefits IS development and operations performance. It also has positive effects on web service development and quality assurance performance. Finally, our mapping study suggests that more research is needed to quantify these effects.
