Sonatype has announced the release of its third report State of the Software Supply Chain<\/em>; highlighting risks within open source software components and the benefits of actively managing software supply chain hygiene.<\/p>\n The DevOps-native tools provider investigated over 17,000 applications, revealing that teams that utilise automated governance tools reduced defective components by 63%; organisations actively managing the quality of open source components flowing into production applications noticed a 28% improvement in developer activity; application quality increased by 48% and overall development costs reduced by 30%.<\/p>\n The report also showed that throughout the years, Java component downloads grew by 68%, with the demand for Docker components expected to grow by 100%; high-functioning DevOps organisations are utilising machine automation to govern the quality of open source components flowing through software chains and only 15.8% of OSS projects actively fix.<\/p>\n Wayne Jackson, CEO at Sonatype, said: \u201cCompanies are no longer building software applications from scratch, they are\u00a0manufacturing them as fast as they can using an infinite supply of open source component parts.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, many still rely on manual and time consuming governance and security practices instead of embracing DevOps-native automation. Our research continues to show that development teams managing trusted software supply chains are dramatically improving quality and productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n The report concludes that thousands of hours have been wasted on reworking and bug fixes; regulatory landscape is rapidly changing, with empirical evidence that hygiene is beginning to improve; although ratios have declined throughout the years.<\/p>\n It also appears that organisations failing to manage software supply chains are introducing vulnerable applications into production, facing increased liability because of gross negligence.<\/p>\n Written by Leah Alger<\/p>\n Read more from DevOps Online<\/a> | Follow us on Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sonatype has announced the release of its third report State of the Software Supply Chain; highlighting risks within open source software components and the benefits of actively managing software supply chain hygiene.
