Chaos Engineering Adoption in CI/CD Pipelines: Interview Data from 15 Organizations

Five countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and India, are represented in this dataset derived from 36 semi-structured interviews. The data was collected over a 12-month period from DevOps engineers, SREs, and other practitioners across 15 software organizations. Author akshit raj patel analyzed the anonymized participant metadata and qualitative findings using Glaserian Grounded Theory methodology.
