CHALLENGES
The client needed to complete test coverage for a large code base, urgently update their test tool, and adapt existing test cases. Additionally, their test management and build server were not equipped for a larger team.
APPROACH
The test tool and environment were updated, with new tests created and extended. Project management and collaboration tools were also established.
SOLUTION
Efficient quality assurance and processes thanks to suitable tools and a seamlessly integrated test environment that is up to date and supports suitable automation, as well as complete traceability and easy access to documentation and results for smooth collaboration between development and test teams.

CHALLENGES
The client faced complex pipelines that caused failures and delays in the CI/CD process, limited scalability and usability with Jenkins, rising maintenance costs, and increased security risks due to manual management of sensitive data.
APPROACH
The existing workflow, tools, and requirements were evaluated, leading to the selection of Terraform Enterprise. A vision, roadmap, and action plan were created for a smooth migration from the legacy system.
SOLUTION
The implementation of Terraform Enterprise significantly improved the developer experience, boosted team efficiency, and enabled faster feature releases without compromising quality.

CHALLENGES
As the automotive industry embraced digital transformation, the client’s legacy infrastructure-as-code workflow lacked flexibility, slowing innovation and creating complex, time-consuming processes. The need for agility, reliability, and security in cloud operations became essential to meet the demands of modern vehicles.
APPROACH
Improving the overall developer experience (DevEx) as well as minimising resource waste in the cloud.
SOLUTION
Implemented a streamlined development workflow by migrating to Terraform Enterprise. In this competitive industry, this was a critical step to enable a short time-to-market.
