A well-established financial multinational corporation in the banking sector with a global footprint. The company boasts strong capital reserves, effective governance, and a diverse range of products and services for over 10 million customers. **Industry:** Banking **Location:** Panama **Devco Services:** DevOps, Test Automation, AWS Cloud **Technologies:** Serenity BDD, Azure DevOps, AWS (AutoScaling, EC2, ECS, Fargate, RDS, SES, SQS, Dynamo, Load Balancer, ECR, API Gateway, SNS, Lambda), Terraform, Docker, NodeJS, Python, Angular **Goal:** To generate value through technology via DevOps and quality assurance strategies. **Devco Achievement:** We established a set of standardized workflows customized to the technologies and equipment conditions, resulting in an increase in test automation coverage. Initially, automation stood at 75%, but this increased to over 93%, with usage surging by a factor of 50. Additionally, value delivery improved by a factor of 10.
**CASE STUDY:** Devco successfully enhanced deployment speeds by adopting DevOps practices: At the project's commencement, releases occurred once every three months; however, now the frequency is twice a week. Furthermore, the time taken to recover from failures has been dramatically reduced from five hours to just 30 minutes. The applications maintain a high level of quality, thanks to the various testing methods employed. This organization faced significant challenges in enhancing value generation within its technology initiatives through DevOps practices. Devco was chosen as a Strategic Partner for this mission. Together, we defined standard workflows tailored to technology and equipment conditions, making it easier to integrate and globally adopt practices such as continuous integration, continuous delivery, continuous testing, static code analysis, and ongoing testing across all company equipment.
