Overview

We partnered with a pharmaceutical client to reduce deployment cycle times for mission-critical custom software, while injecting additional quality safeguards into the deployment process. By implementing continuous delivery with a GitOps-based deployment flow, feature deployment cycles were reduced from years to weeks.

Solution

Infrastructure as Code: Converted infrastructure configuration from manual checklists to code, reducing environment build time from weeks to minutes.

Behavior-Driven Development: Transformed static Word-based requirements documents into BDD specifications stored in version control, simplifying traceability from product feature to design to requirement.

Test Automation: Replaced manual test scripts with automated tests, reducing testing cycles from weeks to hours and enabling full regression testing for even minor code changes.

Technology

The solution was built using Azure DevOps and is deployed to deliver GxP software meeting rigorous internal quality assurance and external regulatory agency requirements.
