Port80 Sydney: Releasing Software is Child's Play

Automating the process of software delivery is a vital feature in today's highly competitive online environment. Many organisations are now exploring cultural shifts and practices such as Agile and DevOps and implementing processes and procedures to facilitate continuous delivery. If your competitors are able to get new enhancements, bug fixes and features faster to market than you, you are at a severe disadvantage.

Anchor was recently able to work in collaboration with Playhouse Digital (http://playhousedigital.com/) to establish effective and automated processes to not only accelerate the process of software delivery, but also establish a robust and highly accurate methodology for testing releases before safe promotion to production.

This process enabled the launch of a highly anticipated e-commerce application with some lofty performance goals. Performance is a feature that should be evaluated upon every release; it is even more vitally important in an e-commerce context. The system established allows the application to be tested not only for functional purposes, but also ensures that the same performance profile is achieved with each and every release.

We'll explore concepts and practices of continuous delivery and elaborate on how this has translated to success for Bendon Lingerie and Playboy (https://www.biofitxplayboy.com/) with their new product line.
