Client A

Client A's Process Before Timztos Solutions Engagement: 

Client A operated on a two-week release cycle, with development commencing on Friday of the first week. Code cuts occurred on Monday, deploying to the test environment the following week. Testing began on Tuesday, with bug fixes and retesting taking place on Wednesday and Thursday. Features that passed testing were selected as release candidates and deployed to live on Thursday evening of the second week. However, this process lacked sufficient room for regression testing, resulting in only a few features making it to release candidates and numerous bugs being detected in the live environment.

Timztos Solutions Intervention:

Timztos Solutions implemented a shift-left approach, pushing testing to the early stages of development. Comprehensive test coverage was achieved through automation, including unit tests, component tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests integrated into the CI pipeline.

Benefits Provided by the New Solution:

1. Early Bug Detection: Bugs were identified at the early stages of the development cycle, allowing for timely resolution and minimising the impact on subsequent stages.
2. Improved Test Coverage: The implementation of automated tests led to improved test coverage, ensuring the robustness and reliability of the software.
3. Reduced Cost of Bug Resolution: By catching bugs early, the cost associated with resolving them was significantly reduced.
4. Streamlined Testing Activities: With testing integrated into the CI pipeline, there was less waiting time in testing activities, leading to faster feedback loops and accelerated development cycles.
5. Increased Confidence in Builds: The comprehensive test suite instilled confidence in the build quality, reducing the risk of defects in production.

Client A's Satisfaction: 

Client A expressed satisfaction with the solution provided by Timztos Solutions, highlighting the tangible benefits experienced in terms of improved efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced software quality.
