We succeed to deliver a scalable, flexible operations processing platform capable of supporting business growth at zero marginal cost, maximizing STP (Straight-through processing) through the reduction of manual processes, and creating best-in-class operational infrastructure that could be leveraged across asset classes.
Each of our teams consists of a Business Analyst, QA and 4 developers who work together in the same room and interact on a daily basis. The team is responsible for an end-to-end software development process starting from high-level requirements clarification and finishing by release build preparation.
We have set-up efficient Scrum Enterprise process with such elements as TDD & BDD, automated tests, self-managed teams, code review and Continues Integration practices and continues working on Technical Debt.
We don't have manual testing. We are disciplined when write code, follow pair-programming and TDD practices, use several levels of testing (unit, integration & functional and acceptance). This allows us to keep quality at a high level and don't have post-release support phase.
Our developers regularly attend Luxoft training courses and participate in programming competitions such as hackathons.
