Businesses today need to be able to respond quickly, not only to new technologies, but to an ever-changing business landscape and new customer needs and demands.
Every department and every function across the company must be working closely and smoothly together to bring in changes quickly, and enterprises tend to adopt either Agile methodology, the DevOps development process, or sometimes both.
Hashtag Consulting EU is extremely experienced in both methodologies and quality assurance practices, with further experience in lifecycle automation and testing. We assist enterprises in building the required quality assurance competencies for DevOps and Agile methodologies, allowing companies to ‘fail fast’ and adapt quickly, and allowing the testing team to keep pace with the rest of the teams involved. Testing automations also allows for more rapid testing overall, and for continuous testing to allow products to reach the market more quickly, while still being properly tested to high standards.
Our company experience allows us to ensure your company has the fundamental elements to make Agile and DevOps a success:
Collaboration:
Every department must work closely together to create a successful application, and the QA function must be brought in early in the development lifecycle, along with the right resources, such as guidelines, toolkits and the correct test processes for the project.
To ensure highly effective collaboration and cost savings, the optimum combination is a mix of offshoring and colocation. The quality assurance team will contribute to all Agile testing processes, including attending daily meetings, either in person or via online tools, to encourage excellent communication, transparency and the smooth running of the project.
Automation:
Hashtag Consulting EU brings practical solutions for application lifecycles and testing, with expertise in end-to-end automation, including:
- Regression test automation, unit test automation, system test automation and acceptance test automation.
