It's still got a while to run, but when I compare the emerging results of this poll with this poll , the picture seems to conflict strongly
This is an example of a wider phenomenon. Teams say "We do X" (where X is CI, or TDD, or refactoring, or BDD etc), and a lot of the time they very simply just don't. Alarmingly, they often don't know what X even is, which is why they don't know they're not doing X.
And teams routinely mistake a tool or technology with an associated set of practices.

"We do TDD" = we're using JUnit
"We do microservices" = we're using Kubernetes
"We do CI" = we're using Jenkins
"We do BDD" = we're using Cucumber
And, of course, the Big Tamale and the root of so much evil...

"We're Agile" = we're using Jira
And there's a reverse connotation when teams do the practices but don't use the tools. I know teams who merge to master many times a day but run builds manually with a script. That's still CI. I know teams who do BDD, sucking customer test data into unit tests from spreadsheets
