The Challenge
Shortening TTM by increasing code quality and changing architecture and DevOps of what is already launched in the production environment.
120k lines of code
No unit & integration tests, no CI/CD, only manual deployments
No test cases & technical documentation
No automated tests, time consuming manual process to track regression
Large number of unresolved bugs
AWS infrastructure provisioned manually, undocumented and not optimized for the system needs
The Solution
ITMAGINATION’s team took over the existing MVP software, started with an audit and recommendation list, and steadily introduced changes:
E2E automated testing implementation
QA processes organized from scratch (test cases, rearranged manual testing, building new QA/staging environment)
CI/CD development (unit, integration, E2E and performance tests)
Process and system architecture documentation preparation
The Result
Increased stability of the software in the production environment
Shortening TTM with new features introduced each sprint
