Several of the points are effectively asking "Do you know that your software work right now?". Without CI and automated tests your knowledge of whether your software works is inherently limited in scope to what you can manually test in a reasonable amount of time and is out-of-date as soon as someone adds a new commit to master.



On the other hand, there are plenty of shops with CI and test suites that simply fail. Like, everyone knows lots of the tests are red from some legacy code or workaround, and they just stay that way at great length.

That's sort of my concern with these indirect questions about tools - it's very common to have them but not have them doing their job.
