CI/CD

Automated test, quality gates, code security, performance analysis, delivery

Improved Efficiency: CTAC’s use of CI/CD practices and toolsets streamlines the development process, reducing the time and effort required to complete projects. This allows developers to focus on what really matters: building new features and improving mission-critical functionality.
Increased Productivity: With automated processes in place, developers can spend more time working on the things that matter most, instead of repeating manual tasks or fixing errors caused by manual processes. This increased productivity can help to speed up the development process and improve the overall quality of the end product.
Reduced Errors: Automated processes are less prone to errors than manual ones. This means that the risk of errors or inconsistencies in builds and deployments is greatly reduced, resulting in a more stable and reliable end product.
Enhanced Collaboration: CI/CD practices and toolsets also help to promote collaboration among developers and teams. With automated processes in place, developers can easily share their work and integrate it into the larger project, reducing the risk of errors and rework.

75+ pipelines

CTAC has built and maintained multiple CI/CD pipelines across our public sector portfolio.

Automated testing

Test automation saves you time, reduces developer effort, and increases reliability.

How? By reducing the risks associated with ever-evolving requirements and the introduction of new features. It saves time and resources compared to manual testing, allowing for more frequent and comprehensive testing.

DevOps IS automated testing, and automation is the key enabler for a DevOps environment.
CTAC excels at implementing tailored, automated software testing solutions for our clients with tools like JUnit, Mocha+Chai, Selenium, Spock, LoadImpact, SonarQube, SoapUI, and JMeter.
CTAC has been able to automate accessibility and device testing with tools such as RAAKT, and Selenium along with services such as BrowserStack and SauceLabs.
At CTAC, we know that line coverage isn’t the only metric that counts. Test quality is vital.
We develop code quality, unit, integration, functional, and performance test suites.
CMMI Dev Level 3 certification means code quality standards and metrics are core to our process.

Microservices & Serverless

The use of microservices in software development has revolutionized the way teams approach complex systems. By breaking these systems down into smaller, more manageable components, development teams can increase their efficiency and responsiveness. This approach aligns with DevOps principles, allowing teams to own smaller parts of the system and reduce dependencies on other teams. As a result, new features can be launched faster and maximum value is delivered first.

At CTAC, we understand the importance of empowering development teams to be self-sufficient. By providing them with the tools and technologies they need to be efficient and effective, we ensure that they are responsive to the needs of our clients. Our adoption of serverless technology, such as AWS Lambda, further supports this goal by allowing teams to focus on delivering value instead of managing infrastructure. With CTAC, you can be confident that your development teams are working efficiently and delivering the results you need.

Features belong to smaller parts of the system, so development and delivery cycles are rapid.
Serverless concepts optimize idle time costs, facilitate event driven systems, and allow teams to focus on business value instead of fleet management.
Allow teams to use the right tool for the job – language and framework independence with well defined schemas and APIs.
