CASE STUDY:
Agile DevOps approach improves QA testing times by 97%
DSC Logistics is an industry leader in transforming logistics and supply chain management into a critical business strategy based on innovative thinking and high-performance operations.
Coral Software customer since: 2016
CHALLENGE:
To accommodate the addition of fifty new warehouse sites that would bring new software application components to their ecosystem, DSC needed to perform quality assurance on the integrity of its data and pre-existing legacy services while efficiently integrating new services. They also needed their testing frameworks and resources to work in a DevOps environment.
SOLUTION:
Our team recommended a mix of tools and best practices to provide earlier feedback to developers in conjunction with the DevOps team. Coral Software’s team implemented:
REST-Assured Java framework to verify service health
Selenium to validate user interaction with all application services – web, mobile, and desktop
Automated load-testing framework created with Gatling to mimic a performance load of thousands of users.
BENEFITS + RESULTS:
Coral Software’s automated checks within a continuous integration server reduced the prior testing cycle times by 97% overall. Thanks to a graphical system focused on quality and testing times, management and the development team had greater visibility into the process. This helped them reduce the time it took to fix technical and functional issues by 45%. In the end, DSC’s quality assurance team had more free time to perform true quality assurance on the product rather than running manual and semi-manual test scripts. This increased the overall level of quality and experience in the application.
CASE STUDY:
Automated testing frameworks streamline development iteration time by 95%
CISION is a leading global public relations and earned media software company and services provider.
Coral Software customer since: 2015
CHALLENGE:
A large portion of CISION’s back-end infrastructure is composed of difficult-to-test web services, and automated testing suites only covered unit tests and functional GUI tests. Additionally, regression web services testing was performed manually – quite a time-consuming task.
SOLUTION:
Coral Software’s quality assurance team implemented an automated test suite built on REST services. The framework for this test suite included real REST service interaction without having to rely on specific web service clients or tools. From here, a model was created for test creation, allowing manual testers and developers to easily write test scripts, and the framework was added to the Continuous Integration toolset.
BENEFITS + RESULTS:
In the end, the time to run automated regression tests on a continuous integration server was reduced by 95%. After implementing the new testing framework, case creation time was reduced to only 30 minutes, and refactoring time required for web services post-testing cycle went down by 80%.
CASE STUDY:
Saving 40% MoM using cost-effective, streamlined software and testing environments
DSC Logistics is an industry leader in transforming logistics and supply chain management into a critical business strategy based on innovative thinking and high-performance operations.
Coral Software customer since: 2016
CHALLENGE:
DSC needed a cost-effective “Scale on-demand” architecture solution to accommodate fifty new warehouse sites. Furthermore, application integration was required against legacy technologies and solutions. Given the client’s knowledge of Cloud technologies or implementations, Coral Software stepped in with budget-friendly software development and testing environments to mimic production.
SOLUTION:
Coral Software’s teams presented strategy, technology, and architecture to solve the client’s challenges. We used Amazon Web Services to locate all development, testing, and production environments providing instant scaling in a ”pay for what you use” model. Next, we brought in Docker and Ansible as configuration management and deployment tools, allowing seamless configuration launch. Finally, Coral Software introduced world-class DevOps best practices and tools to DSC for continual program maintenance, including an automated testing framework.
BENEFITS + RESULTS:
DSC now saves 40% on monthly hardware costs compared to previous years, and the new infrastructure allows DSC to duplicate its Coral Software team size, work in parallel on multiple applications at once, and improve their time to market by 55%. Overall, DSC expanded its capabilities without rewriting or extending any of its legacy systems, saving $450K in development expenses.
CASE STUDY:
Coral Software partnership delivered client software to market 225% faster
ThinkCERCA teaches critical thinking through argumentative writing via their personalized literacy platform for English, language arts, science, social studies, and math.
Coral Software customer since: 2013
CHALLENGE:
ThinkCERCA was an early stage company with limited development resources and funding. Therefore, they needed a cost-effective way to scale and compete with other edtech companies. Their goal was to build an intuitive SAAS platform for multiple audiences: teachers, students, and principals, but they lacked time for resources to learn their business and the technology stack. They were also in dire need of a new content management system.
SOLUTION:
Our resources helped the client scale out their development team and increase their speed of delivery. To do so, we added Ember.js and React.js developers to their team to build out an evolved teacher lesson library and grading experience. Additionally, Ruby on Rails developers helped create a new content management system. Even a business analyst and a few quality assurance resources were staffed to round out an autonomous team. To help the team members ramp up quickly, they participated in accelerated onboarding in education through training and on-site visits to Chicago.
BENEFITS + RESULTS:
In the end, our client was able to scale quickly, bringing on three parallel teams over a four month period after originally starting with just two developers. ThinkCERCA was able to reduce time to market by 225% thanks to Coral Software’s streamlined development and collaboration capabilities, and they saved 40% on resource costs over 3 years when compared against equivalent full-time employees in the US.
CASE STUDY:
New AWS Blockchain-Inspired Platform Saves 70% of Client Budget MoM
CME Group and Britain’s Royal Mint collaborated to create a new gold trading platform based on Blockchain Technology running on Amazon Web Services.
Coral Software customer since: 2010
CHALLENGE:
The client needed help creating a Blockchain Validator Solution capable of controlling transaction flow within a private network on the Cloud. Additionally, they required a cost-effective “Scale on-demand” architecture solution as a result of uncertainty in expected network transactions volume. This meant a high level of data and transaction security was required due to nature of the transactions, including rigorous fault tolerance with high up-time SLAs.
SOLUTION:
Coral Software’s team of AWS experts implemented an AWS solution while also providing ongoing AWS Managed Services post-launch. As an AWS partner, Amazon Web Services were easily leveraged to locate all development, testing, and production environments. This allowed for instant scaling in a ”pay for what you use” model. Additionally, our team managed Cloud use based on Amazon CloudWatch services, allowing a 24×5 support and full real-time supervision. We also introduced world-class DevOps best practices and tools to regularly maintain the environment. Our flexibility allowed the CME to update servers and enable more instances on-demand with Amazon Machine Images (AMI).
BENEFITS + RESULTS:
CME Group achieved an average cost savings of 70% per month on AWS compared to their on-site servers. Through CloudWatch, monitoring cost 60% less than before. The client now has a highly scalable and fault tolerant Cloud environment managed by our Cloud Managed Services group. In the end, it took 50% less time to build and deploy our solution than with an alternative resource.
