If you’ve been following our weekly FundGuard Insights blog (thank you), then you are likely aware that a best practice approach to DevOps is fundamental to our software development process and is an approach to which we are quite dedicated.
At FundGuard, DevOps isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a culture. Defined by the software world as a blend of software development (“Dev”) and IT operations (“Ops”), DevOps streamlines our process, making software development cycles quicker and more efficient. This ensures that we can serve our clients (and their clients too) in the best way possible.
In past blogs, we’ve shared several examples of FundGuard’s commitment to a strong DevOps culture, including:
Continuing the discussion this week we present a view of the FundGuard Test Center, which dramatically differentiates the efficiency and effectiveness of FundGuard’s software testing process when compared to traditional methods. This in turn reduces time to market on new features and capabilities and greatly enhances our clients’ FundGuard experience.
The FundGuard Test Center is a dedicated place that exists for each FundGuard client and includes a test region to define their test funds, fund groups, fund views, etc., as well as all accounting, workflows and controls. Test Center stores predefined configurations and test scenarios, as well as verification result files that auto-compare to test run results automatically, without manual intervention. Further, every FundGuard client will benefit from a robust library of testing scenarios from their fellow FundGuard users.
FundGuard’s Customer Success team works closely with our clients to carefully plan their testing structure according to their needs, with consideration given to the configuration and connection of accounting rules and workflows, as well as decisions around the test scenarios themselves. We enable our clients to make decisions about how they will organize their tests and help them form a testing strategy that works best for them. Also of note, we can run and test – via our blue/green testing process – actual data in parallel.
The end result of our approach is significantly improved software quality, efficiency, and reliability, which in turn strengthens our clients’ own service offering to their clients.
