WHY CHOOSE ULTIMATE?
Source control is the backbone of a solid DevOps process. We ensure efficient collaboration, maintain version control, and preserve code integrity by committing all code to dedicated repositories. Each repository includes specialised branches that align with your specific DevOps and hosting needs.
At Ultimate, code updates undergo a peer review by another developer, ensuring that the code is clean, efficient, and ready for deployment. Our review process helps maintain high standards and reduces the risk of bugs or vulnerabilities. We also leverage cutting-edge AI technologies to assist in code review analysis.
Every project we manage features at least one additional staging environment to the live (production) environment. These environments closely mirror the production environment, allowing for accurate internal testing. We also provide clients the opportunity to test and approve changes before anything goes live, ensuring smooth and safe deployments.
Quality assurance begins with automated unit tests and functional tests that are maintained throughout the development process. This practice catches issues early on, resulting in higher-quality code and speeding up the overall QA and user acceptance testing (UAT) cycles.
Our DevOps team works closely with clients to provide bespoke backup configurations to suit their particular needs.
Our DevOps workflow can incorporate CI/CD pipelines to enable faster, automated deployments. This ensures that every update, whether small or significant, is seamlessly tested and deployed with minimal disruption to your business.
