Engineering Automation solutions
Application Release Automation
Providing advisory services as well as implementing solutions that accelerate software release cycles, including capabilities in Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline, build & deployment automation, infrastructure provisioning automation, code inspection, and process and tool evaluation
Test Automation
Providing advisory and implementation services to help clients automate testing, including functional testing, user interface testing, API testing, desktop/web/mobile testing, performance & security testing, and Test-Driven (TDD), Behavior-Driven (BDD), and Acceptance-Test Driven (ATDD) Development methods
Client challenges that we solve
- How can we accelerate software release cycles and time to revenue?
- What can we do to increase the reliability and predictability of our software releases?
- How can we be more flexible in accommodating changing customer requirements without affecting quality?
- What tools can we use to minimize errors and code complexity?
- How can we reduce manual effort to give us more time to focus on innovation?

Work in Action
Automating provisioning & testing
We helped a software vendor develop unified platforms for automated provisioning and for automated testing covering REST API, extension points, and protocols. With these frameworks the client increased platform test coverage from 15% to 90% and compressed test cycle time by 75%.
Expanding test automation
We worked with a software company to increase until testing for faster test execution and earlier defect detection, while expanding test automation to make it easier to catch cross-team impacts when working on a common code base. Release certification was 100% automated, and a 60% reduction in priority one software issues and zero production rollbacks were realized.
Customizing Agile processes for teams
We customized an Agile Scrum process for multiple teams distributed across different continents working for an education provider. Ness also helped the client automate thousands of test cases and focused on sprint automation using TDD and ATDD methods. Test execution effort decreased from 1.5 months to ½ a day and the client reduced its testing costs by 25%.
