Banking software must be secure, reliable, and trustworthy. But many banks still rely on traditional development methods that are slow, risky, and inefficient. In this video, I explore three modern software development practices that are fundamentally changing how banks build and deliver software: continuous deployment, test-driven development, and feature flags.
When we are talking about traditional testing, we are talking about the V-model which is used in waterfall projects. We do requirement engineering, we write down features for our software, then we break them down and then write stories which are then given to the developer to implement this story. The developer then codifies this and then writes unite tests and integration tests.
Companies today are confronted with the challenge of enhancing efficiency while lowering costs. Changes to products often take much too long to reach end customers on the market. A consistent DevOps approach can aid this process.
