• I help Technical Founders to deliver software products faster by minimizing regression bugs and reducing maintenance cost.
• Imagine if you could deliver software to production in a safe and fast way. Imagine if you had almost zero regression bugs in production, and that you customers are happy using your software, and you're able to grow your customer base. Imagine if you could reduce your software maintenance cost, and that developers are spending most of their time build features rather than bug fixing.
• Only few companies have it figured out. The solution is to build quality in at all levels within the software development cycles through Developer Testing. Key focus areas include:
• 1. Acceptance Testing helps the team to verify that software works correctly from the end user perspective by automating acceptance criteria testing. This reduces user-facing regression bugs.
• 2. Component Testing helps the team to verify that frontend and backend microservices work correctly. This reduces development time by minimizing inter-team integration problems.
• 3. Unit Testing helps the team to verify correctness of business logic and to refactor code safely. This reduces development time by providing a fast feedback loop.
