Software quality from start to finish

01

Agility

We firmly believe that agile methods help deliver software projects faster, more predictably, more cheaply and in higher quality.

For us, agility does not mean Scrum by the book. We see agility as a collection of practices and methods tailored to a team and its needs, evolving together with that team over time.

02

Cross-functional

We like working in cross-functional teams because all roles required for the task at hand come together there. Tasks can be carried out quickly and efficiently without external dependencies delaying progress.

We see ourselves as generalists (T-shaped people), which lets us spread many different roles across a few team members. As a result, teams stay small, fast, agile and powerful.

03

You build it, you run it

We accompany development from design to operations, because that is the only way we can guarantee delivering value to the customer in high quality.

Together with the team we take collective responsibility for the features we build, especially during operations. Creating transparency through suitable solutions such as monitoring and alerting helps us to fulfil this task.

04

Continuous improvement

We promote continuous improvement within a team. Only if we want to improve every single day can we achieve great things together. Retrospectives with root cause analysis and without blame are therefore our tool of choice.

Small experiments with measurable results help to adapt a team’s structure and way of working to its needs.

01

Agile development

In software development it is still common to plan for a long time, document requirements excessively and deliver something much later that hopefully matches the original plan.

Not with us.

We develop and deliver software in short iterations. Stakeholders can give feedback early, spot problems and initiate corrections. In cross-functional teams all roles work hand in hand, so that the quality of the product can be ensured from the very beginning.

We build what the customer really needs. In many cases that is something different from what they originally wanted.

02

Agile testing

With a well-stocked toolbox, our colleagues support you by:

• critically questioning design and planning phases
• defining acceptance criteria
• coaching on writing efficient developer tests
• exploratory testing
• uncovering security vulnerabilities
• automating deployment processes

Last but not least, we know how to balance a test pyramid and where each aspect can be tested most efficiently.

03

DevOps

Besides our development work, we naturally use our DevOps know-how to build CI/CD pipelines, establish infrastructure as code and ensure the operation of the software we develop.

We always have tools like Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, CloudFormation, GitHub Actions or serverless functions at hand.
