Abstract
Context: Continuous Software Engineering (CSE) involves a set of practices that aims at making software development continuous and integrated to business. However, moving from traditional to integrated, agile and data-driven software development requires changes in the organization´s culture, practices and structure, which may not be easy. Objective: Our focus is to help organizations get an overall view of the CSE practices they perform, identify where they are in the CSE evolutionary path and which areas should be improved. Method: We created a diagnosis instrument, called Zeppelin, to evaluate the adoption of CSE practices and applied it in five Brazilian software organizations. Results: Zeppelin was recognized as a useful tool to help organizations have a more comprehensive view of their CSE practices and envision the evolution and improvement path they can follow. Conclusion: Zeppelin supports software development organizations to get a big picture of CSE practices and identify their position in the CSE evolution path. Moreover, it contributes to identify strategies to advance software development towards a CSE environment.
