Improving feature discoverability in continuously deployed software products,
summary, report, February 2024.

Abstract:

As software companies increasingly adopt methods for continuously integrating and deploying their products, it is relevant to consider which problems can arise as a result of these developments methodologies. Because of their choice of development methodology, Schneider Electric has theorized that their users miss the frequent and small updates that are deployed continuously in one of their software products.

The primary aim of the thesis is to explore if feature discoverability suffers when working with rapid and small releases. The second goal is to investigate a possible way or guidelines for automating information regarding what features have been released and how they affect the user. Finally, the thesis proposes a way that generated information about features can be displayed to the user in a non-intrusive way. Designing a solution around these goals seeks to reduce release problems when working with small and frequent releases, such as in Continuous deployment.
