Updates for Gas Engineer Software – February 2019

Major changes to our testing infrastructure with server provisioning via Kubernetes.

This is the first part of a massive project which we have been working on for the last 5 months, including all of the development and testing environments.

This will greatly improve our automatic testing as we will be able to create new servers, run test suites, notify developers of any issues and then shut the servers down without any manual intervention.

We will be able to do this with multiple code versions all at the same time and completely automated – without having to wait for other tests to finish or for other members of the team.

It will also mean that we can manually create new servers in less than 30 seconds when we want to double check new features or test bug fixes.

This will allow us to improve the software and build feature requests quicker than ever, with less issues.

The benefit to you is that your company will save even more time, look more professional and get more done.

Kind Regards

And all the team at
Gas Engineer Software.
