CI (Continuous Integration) is a software development methodology. With CI automated builds and tests are performed after a developer has merged his/her changed code into the central repository. That means, once they are merged, an application will be built, and various levels of testing will be performed all automatically. This is carried out in small cycles with frequent iterations such as daily. By doing this, bugs can be detected earlier, and the time required for release can be reduced significantly.
We provide end-to-end solutions for CI with CD (Continuous Delivery). Since CI covers a large area of process, it is mandatory that we grasp a customer’s holistic picture including the application part. We are highly competent and capable of this because many of us started our career as application developers.

1. CI Design/Implementation from Scratch

When you are launching a new software development or have the existing development for which CI has not been implemented yet, we undertake to design and implement it for you. In line with each client’s situation, we draw a strategic roadmap for CI, followed by system design and implementation. This is performed based on the optimized template, so it is highly effective even if it is your first time with CI or you do not have a dedicated DevOps team. After implementation, we will also hold training sessions. This enables the team to conceive DevOps way of development and make them mentally confident of handling DevOps operations.

2. CI Enhancement

If a customer has already implemented CI, we help to improve it through bottom-up and top-down approaches. In the bottom-up approach, we find the bottleneck by studying the existing CI. In the top-down approach, we detect potential issues by comparing it with our optimized templates. Based on them, we create an improvement plan, followed by system design and implementation. You will get a high-quality CI with less risk, since we cover maintainability and security engineers, which are often overlooked when building an initial CI. Moreover, a recent trend is to add security and performance tests to a pipeline which we are also eager to help you with.
