Digital transformation is not coming; it's already here. As a result, the financial industry needs to prepare for the rapid-fire changes in consumer demands and behaviors that are bound to necessitate the evolution of business processes that utilize the latest technological innovations. One of the most significant developments in recent years has been the adoption of microservices, a software development architecture that offers numerous benefits over traditional monolithic applications. Adopting microservices will allow financial institutions to build more flexible, scalable, and resilient cloud-native applications, further fostering their ability to capture additional market share and attract new generations to their technological solutions.

Identifying problems early in software development is essential for successful and timely delivery. By identifying potential issues at the beginning of a project, developers can take steps to mitigate risk and ensure that any problems are addressed before they become roadblocks to project delivery. By having clear and comprehensive issue identification practices in place, software development teams can ensure that they produce high-quality products efficiently without running into any unnecessary roadblocks

As a technology executive, you know that innovation is critical to staying ahead of the competition. The challenge is how to innovate quickly and effectively without compromising quality. DevOps automation solutions can help you accelerate innovation by streamlining the development process and eliminating manual tasks.

Let's look at how DevOps automation works and why it's worth considering for your business.

In modern software development, many moving pieces and systems often depend on other systems. It is important for infrastructure to be deployed quickly, consistently and in a controlled fashion. One way to achieve that is to transition software development practices into managing infrastructure, resulting in Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Here's an overview of where you can use IaC to improve the quality and process of your platform and some tools to help your organization achieve it.

Writing unit tests is no developer’s favorite part of coding. Tests tend to be poorly written and maintained, and keeping them up to date takes time away from writing the features they should be testing. Fortunately, the Arrange/Act/Assert pattern (also called Given/When/Then) is a simple but valuable pattern that defines the order of operations for tests.
