Establishing Confident Software Delivery

Vision ⭐️

As we've learned from the famous Silicon Valley Series (must watch for everyone working it IT), every company needs to "Make the world a better place!", so do we.

... just kidding.

Our vision is to transform the landscape of software development, where automated testing is not just an afterthought, but a practice of every developer's workflow. We aspire to create a world where software is consistently reliable, developers are confident in their work, and the process of software delivery is seamless and efficient.

Mission ⛵️

Our mission is to redefine the approach and position of automated testing in software development by elevating the role of testing from an afterthought to a fundamental aspect of the process.

Recognizing the gap of testing in existing resources on developing applications, we are committed to filling this void with comprehensive, high-quality content focused on automated testing. Our approach is pragmatic and non-dogmatic, eschewing a one-size-fits-all methodology in favor of diverse, effective testing strategies.

We are dedicated to democratizing knowledge, making it accessible and affordable for everyone. Our adherence to the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) model reflects this commitment, ensuring our prices are fair and adjusted to local economic conditions. For those who still find the cost prohibitive, we encourage reaching out.

Our platforms offer a balanced mix of free and premium content, ensuring valuable resources are available to all, regardless of their financial situation. This approach enables us to empower developers globally, ensuring they can deliver software with confidence and consistency, ...

... making the world a better and safer place (*winking-smiley*).

Confidence-Boosting Development and Testing Practices 🚀

Introducing and educating modern testing tools and libraries, implementing continuous production verification mechanism through canary tests, advocating pair programming and Test-Driven Development (TDD).

Test Automation Optimization Activities ⚙️

Streamlining and speeding up test setups to build applications faster using approaches like Spring TestContext caching, teaching testing recipes and best practices, helping teams write meaningful tests that improve confidence and enable fearless refactorings.

Transitioning to Continuous Live Deployments 🚤

Advocating trunk-based development to accelerate feedback loops, promoting and introducing feature flags to deploy code changes faster and more securely, automating software releases and repeating tasks.

Holistic Development Approach 💻

Adopting a comprehensive mindset by developing monitoring and alerting strategies to identify outages and downtimes early on, introducing observability tools like distributed tracing to better debug and investigate distributed microservice landscapes.

Cloud Migration ☁️

Guiding organizations through successful migrations to the cloud, enabling them to leverage fully managed services for enhanced operational capabilities, managing cloud resources with infrastructure as code (IaC) to define and deploy them deterministically and automatically.
