What brought you to Applivery?

We’ve taken on Applivery to develop a new drive and currier application. We used it really heavily across various squads and agile teams to ensure a high quality assurance life cycle into production and be able to deliver our applications quickly at pace.

How do you use Applivery today? Did we solve a critical problem?

We are using Applivery to really quickly deliver new apps in our deployment pipelines to production through Jenkins CI/CD and our automated testing processes, ensuring that we have a high quality assurance life cycle into production.

We use it also to test our applications in production with a variety of users. We can deliver it also to our internal customers who use our application and they can prove our application before we release it to production. That for me is priceless in terms of us being able to prove that our application’s working as expected and it really helps with our quality governance and approach at Yodel.

Do you use Applivery in combination with any other products?

Applivery is great to integrate with Jenkins through Fastlane and our automated testing processes. It also integrates with our repositories to retrieve branch and tag information for each build, making it easy to identify and deliver versions to a variety of users.
