Challenges
From initial development to the final release, there were delays. The quarterly-long release cycles caused loss of customers and delayed revenue.
They were dependent on manual efforts to manage the business processes which requires more time and cost.
There was no track of what is deployed and when it is deployed to the production.
No support for code coverage and automated code review lead to long technical depth and critical connection leakage issues on production.
The organization was facing manual and complicated deployment process which caused delays and affect overall growth.
There was a lack of communication between development, operation, and quality assurance team that delayed the production cycle and the entire production was messed up.
There was no support for “Continuous Feedback and Monitoring” resulted in long outages in production without any clue of the root cause.
Due to the traditional approach to software development, there was a higher ratio of rework and lower quality releases
On every new release in production, the client observed a decline in business and revenues.
