It’s only odd if you assume 100% of the surveyed companies have a CI and build infrastructure set up. Quite possibly some percentage is only using it for source

It’s only odd if you assume 100% of the surveyed companies have a CI and build infrastructure set up. Quite possibly some percentage is only using it for source control and doesn’t have an automated CI process in place at all.
- saghm 7y agoWouldn't that only make sense with the percentages reversed (61% are users, 60% say it's their most used)? Otherwise, there are more companies where it's "most used" then there are that use it at all.
- aeontech 7y agoOk, sure, example with numbers: --------------------------------- Set A: 100 companies are surveyed 60/100 companies use GitLab (60%) --------------------------------- Set B: 82 of the surveyed companies use a CI solution of some kind 50/82 of those companies use GitLab CI (61%) --------------------------------- The two percentages make sense because Set A and Set B is not the same set of companies, hence the denominator is not the same in the two percentage calculations.
- saghm 7y ago> Fully 61% of companies say GitLab is their most used tool for CI and build It's possible that I'm taking their statement too literally, but it seems a little misleading to me to use "fully 61% of companies" without additional qualification to refer to "61% of companies that use CI" when a sizable portion of companies (e.g. 18%) don't use CI at all.
