Testautomation

Test automation increases efficiency in the quality assurance of software products. Automation can minimize repetitive testing tasks while improving the accuracy and coverage of tests. Our team has extensive experience in the use of leading automation tools such as Cypress for end-to-end testing and Selenium for web-based applications. These allow us to effectively design and execute complex test scenarios, identifying bugs early and shortening development cycles. By using them in a targeted manner, we develop customized test frameworks that are embedded in the customer’s system landscape and thus precisely tailored to their individual requirements. In this way, we ensure that our customers’ software products undergo a thorough quality check, which leads to a significant improvement in the reliability and performance of the end products.

DevOps

DevOps methods, especially Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery, paired with test automation significantly increase the operational efficiency of the development team and thus optimize the software development cycle, resulting in faster releases and higher software quality. Our team has the ability to support and implement these processes. For our customers, this results in a significant increase in the efficiency of their development and operational processes. By shortening development cycles and increasing product quality, they can react more quickly to market requirements and at the same time increase the reliability of their software solutions.
