The rapid proliferation of DevOps variants, collectively known as XOps, reflects the growing complexity and specialization within software development and operations. However, the diversity of these practices has led to inconsistencies and confusion, which complicates the development and standardization of the field. While there has been significant research on individual XOps, there is a lack of systematic, horizontal analysis across all XOps practices. This paper addresses this gap by conducting a scoping review of XOps literature, focusing on three fundamental research questions: the definition and categorization of XOps, the methodologies used to study their adoption, and the common challenges identified in their implementation. As the first study to systematically address these questions, we propose the XOps conceptualization framework, offering a structured approach to understanding and studying XOps. This framework serves as an initial step toward bringing clarity to the DevOps landscape, providing guidance in uncovering its complexities and laying the foundation for future research and the emergence of new XOps.
