FAQ

ci cd: questions

How is this ranking made?

By the number of companies whose own job postings name the tool as the team's system, from the Breaknorm technology catalogue (version T-1.0.1-prov). No vendor paid for a position and no editor chose the order.

Why is this different from review-site rankings?

Review sites rank by reviews collected. This ranks by companies hiring people to work in the tool, which is closer to seats in use. It under-counts tools used by teams that rarely post jobs.

What about product editions?

Editions and sub-products () are counted under the parent so no company is counted twice.

Can I get the companies behind a number?

Yes: click a tool, see the first 20, and sign up for the full list with verified e-mails. Counting is free.
