Release Engineering services

Now more than ever, Release Engineering is crucial to the success of today’s rapid prototype development and programming process models. In fact, component re-use and third-party product leveraging are requiring organizations to have the very best Release Engineering services to cut down costs and deliver reliable software on time.

Release Engineering is a solution for moving specific versions of software as modified by the development organization to the end-user. An automated, audited and repeatable engineering solution is critical.

At Vital Technologies (Vital), Release Engineering services are consistent and can be reproduced and verified. Vital has experts with skills in Maven, And, NAnt, various flavors of Make, and Install Shield. In addition, Vital uses topline version-control management tools, including:

Change Control

Today’s constant demand for changes in infrastructure and applications poses significant risks to operations, outcomes and the bottom line. Vital strictly follows change control that results in your organization being more efficient with higher-quality products and services.

Continuous Integration

Often, problems are not discovered until the last phase of a project because of the lack of continuous integration. Advantages of continuous integration include the ability to detect broken code early and on an ongoing basis, conduct upfront unit testing of all changes, and more. Vital is a strong proponent of continuous integration and has the expertise in setting up environments with commercial off-the-shelf and free-ware tools.

Environment Management

Development, integration testing, QA and production require a great deal of management effort. In turn, tracking versions of components deployed across various tiers is a necessity. They then must be moved from each environment. Vital’s Release Engineering group is well-versed in Environment Management. The team uses defined processes with detailed documentation for tracking, ensuring extreme accuracy.
