Helping your teams deliver software safer and faster

Too many bugs, slow delivery, you're stressed out

  • Your team is stuck in fire-fighting, delivering software with frequent regression bugs.

  • Your customers are complaining.

  • You're worried about losing your customers, losing revenue and damaging your brand reputation.

The development team is spending half the sprint doing bug fixing, and also prior to releases they have bug fixing sprints. You're just paying them to keep the system alive. They're hardly delivering features and release dates keep on being pushed. For example, for a company that has a team of 10 developers, with 50,000 EUR annual salary per developer, that's 500,000 EUR annual salary and imagine 200,000 EUR being burnt on bug fixing?!

Your team tried everything, but nothing worked

You've already tried everything you could think of:

  • Hiring skilled senior developers

  • Introducing Scrum and hiring Agile Coaches

  • Hiring QA Automation Engineers to automate E2E Tests

  • Introducing 80% Code Coverage for Unit Tests

But nothing worked. The situation is getting even worse. Regression bugs are increasing, developers are spending the majority of the sprint doing bug fixes, release cycles are getting longer and you can't keep up with your competitors.

TDD can help cut down bugs and deliver faster

Imagine if you could safely and quickly deliver software to production. Imagine if you had almost zero regression bugs in production, your customers were happy using your software, and you'd be able to grow your customer base. Imagine if you could reduce your software maintenance cost and that developers spent most of their time building features rather than bug fixing.

Only a few companies have it figured out. The solution is to build quality in at all levels within the software development cycles - through Developer Testing. Key focus areas include:

  • Acceptance Testing helps the team to verify that software works correctly from the end user perspective by automating acceptance criteria testing. This reduces user-facing regression bugs.

  • Component Testing helps the team to verify that frontend and backend microservices work correctly. This reduces development time by minimizing inter-team integration problems.

  • Unit Testing helps the team to verify correctness of business logic and to refactor code safely. This reduces development time by providing a fast feedback loop.
