I'm researching automation maturity, and have investigated your repository and looked at the GitHub workflows and Maven plugins you are using! I'll give you a quick summary of what I found, and the automation tasks I recommend you to focus on next (:

Level of maturity Basic Intermediate Advanced
Collaboration ‎

Artifacts ‎
⚠️ Still working on this level!

✔️ Code compilation
❌ Dependency management of artifact
❌ Source code version control
 ✔️ Packaging
✔️ Publish artifacts to a registry
❌ Build tasks, resources and configuration
❌ Generate source and metadata artifacts
❌ Release tagging
 ❌ Generate release notes
❌ Containerization
❌ Push container to remote

And now? Next steps!

It is not always clear which automation tasks should be prioritized. It is however important to balance your automation efforts, as a uniform level of maturity is most productive. I'm here to help! Below is a list of tasks that you can work on to help level up your maturity across the automation domains:

  • Implement Package management; implemented by 36% of GitHub repositories
  • Implement Run tests; implemented by 23% of GitHub repositories

What do you think?

Do you think my analysis is correct and do these recommendations help you? Or have I missed something?

For my master's thesis I'm doing research into the use of automations in GitHub repositories. With my findings, I want to see if I can help out developers with what automations they could focus on. Do you want to help me out? Leaving a response is much appreciated!
