Instruqt Report Finds 92 Pct Face Developer Adoption Challenges

KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- Instruqt has released its annual report, The State of Developer Adoption, revealing that 92 per cent of respondents face at least one significant developer adoption challenge.

According to Instruqt in a statement, the most cited causes are misalignment across teams (27 per cent), technology complexity (26 per cent), and the difficulty of keeping content accurate as products ship weekly (25 per cent).

The report is the first independent benchmark examining how marketing, sales and education teams are responding to the widening gap between the pace of artificial intelligence (AI) feature releases and the pace at which customers can adopt them.

Based on a SlashData 2026 survey involving 424 marketing, sales and developer education practitioners at North American software companies, the report found that organisations using hands-on learning experiences were approximately 50 per cent more likely to report developers reaching productivity within two months than those that did not.

The findings also point to a structural shift in how business-to-business (B2B) software companies need to operate as AI adoption accelerates.

Other notable findings include developer communities remaining the most underutilised adoption lever, high-impact pre-sales experiences being underused, differing definitions of successful hands-on experiences across teams, and growing AI adoption despite declining confidence in some applications.

For developer-focused software companies, the report suggests that customer adoption is becoming an increasingly important determinant of growth as innovation cycles accelerate.

As part of broader adoption strategies, many fast-growing software companies have invested heavily in hands-on education, self-paced labs, interactive product experiences and developer enablement programmes.

Earlier this month, Google Cloud Security selected Instruqt to launch its Agentic SOC experience at Google Cloud Next 2026, training 50 practitioners in a single workshop with a dedicated Vertex AI environment for each participant.
