Key Engagement Features
- Engaged as the lead development organization
- Provided a proven turnkey solution for GSI to launch nationally and internationally
- Developed sophisticated Java based (Spring/Hibernate) code
- Simultaneously, effectively supported multiple brands’ ecommerce sites
- Provided faster and more efficient releases of enterprise level ecommerce for GSI clients.
TDD techniques and tools ensured clear communication between business analysts and developers to deliver business-aligned product solutions. A Continuous Integration (CI) process for delivery made use of automated testing to ensure a very large team was only checking-in quality code. These processes increased overall time to market, ensured end-to-end testing processes were tight, and created fast load times for all applications directly out of the gate.
