02. Technology

Which are the criteria considered when evaluating and choosing a certain technology?

The trend shows that the main competitors work with sophisticated business or open code tools, thus aligning their teams’ skills.

At Baufest, we are agnostics to tools. We know that open code tools could be beneficial in terms of quality-price ratio, but they come at a high cost in terms of building and maintenance. On the other hand, licensed tools lead to a faster and more efficient implementation, but the cost many times is too high.

Therefore, our goal is to help companies choose the most effective tools, based on their strategy and test architecture, thus accelerating implementation times with our know-how and specialized team.

Slide

BEGINERS MODE:

Do you know your times? Assessment. We evaluate existing applications, and we design an automation strategy according to the needs of your technological solutions.

Implementation. We select tools, we create multi-disciplinary teams, and we define test strategies that better suit your next challenge.

Adoption. We recommend automated test frameworks integrated with test processes based on shift-left-testing and with easily executable agile methodologies. We help you measure your times and get to know your weak spots to determine the plan that better suits your goal.
We help you measure your times and get to know your weak spots to determine the plan that better suits your goal.
Slide

PRO MODE:

Is your team prepared to approach more complex circuits? Evolution. We incorporate better practices in the testing strategy in order to evolve the agile testing framework.

Collaboration. We collaborate by continuously integrating data management disciplines, as well as the virtualization of the environments, in order to achieve a continuous integration architecture.

Acceleration. We improve the test automation framework, the techniques, and the test adopted to obtain better maintenance and scalability.
Slide

EXPERT MODE:

Do you want to improve your performance continuously? Optimization. Artificial intelligence and machine learning adopted in the test architecture and results reading, contributing a continuous feedback to the business.

Collaboration. DevTestOps + DevSecOps: We evolved the testing process by integrating it in the continuous delivery. We work together with the Development areas, Security and Operations to optimize deployment times and prevent business risks.

Measurement. We carry out a measurements model that, based on product quality information, enables decision-making processes.
