DevOps as a Service - Assessment, Consultations and Implementations

Comprehensive security posture

The core DevOps principles — downstream automated flows, continuous feedback, and continuous experimentation — are equally applicable to security. Thus, building a better DevOps culture also translates into a stronger security posture. HDWEBSOFT is among the few DevOps companies that place a strong emphasis on weaving security best practices into an upgraded application delivery lifecycle.

ShapeWith our guidance, you can achieve strong collaboration between development, operations, and security teams, all working cross-boundaries to get essential work done. Our consultants can advise you on the best security tools and practices to integrate into your development pipelines so your engineers can confidently do their work without worrying about hidden security problems. By investigating and fine-tuning your processes, we can help you build a new culture where security is a shared responsibility. Because what’s good for security is good for the end customer.

Cross-skilling improvements

DevOps is a culture, and a culture can’t be forged through commandments alone. During our partnership with a client, one of our main goals is prompting internal transformations among teams so they’re personally sold on the benefits of DevOps. Through knowledge sharing, training, and peer work, we’ll help all of your team members gain new skills, distributed across rigid roles.

Together, we’ll work on reducing your volume of unplanned work and unnecessary code rework so your core team can break away from the vicious fix–maintain cycle. As part of this procedural transformation, we’ll showcase how new tools, processes, and practices can positively contribute to your team’s day-to-day work and why shared responsibility is the way to go for higher work satisfaction. By simplifying coordination, approval, and general workflow stages, we’ll get your people excited about adopting new DevOps practices.

Automated quality assurance

Automated testing is a core part of DevOps. However, that doesn’t mean your QA team will be left out. On the contrary, with the introduction of Continuous Integration and Continuous Testing, the roles and responsibilities of QA specialists will only grow in importance. Let’s re-imagine the role of quality assurance within your company together.

With manual testing out of the way, your QA engineers will have more time to focus on supporting the development team by providing them with the best-suited tools and testing strategies for various types of applications, integrations, and target deployment environments. With more time available for exploratory testing, your QA team can turn into an advisory unit, setting the right direction for further product quality and security enhancements. Our aim is to position your QA process to accelerate deployments instead of holding it back.
