THE CHALLENGE
The Santander Global Tech team is working for Santander to become the best open platform for digital financial services.
They act as the engine of the company's digital transformation from the conviction of the importance of aligning technology with business needs.
In particular, to ensure the quality of the software in iterative and incremental cycles ("sprints") of weeks and in accordance with Santander Global Tech standards, it requires people capable of talking and consuming the information of the development teams, as well as that they are very solvent in the implementation and automation of tests. In short, they are called SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test) specialists.
The SDET specialist can be considered as a developer whose function is to ensure that each Sprint is released with the appropriate software quality, using SQA and automation techniques for regressions.
THE SOLUTION
Panel has the organization and resources necessary to provide testing, testing or quality assurance services for software under factory models.
To ensure that the people involved with Santander Global Tech teams have the necessary training at their disposal, Panel has set up a tailored Training Office, supported by its team of experts with solid knowledge in SQA, automation and application certification.
We control the quality of the software delivered through testing services in all activities of the software life cycle and ensure it through process test automation strategies.
Panel also offers support for the adaptation of the ecosystem of tools to the needs of the different development teams and the integration of the SQA methodology throughout the software life cycle.
For the development of this service, Agile methodology has been used in sprints of 2 to 4 weeks, with an initial ratio of 1 SDET for each development team (“Development Team”) that is evolving to 1 SDET for every 3 development people.
Panel's experience in Lean and Agile methodologies has made it possible to reinforce the transformation plan the client is in, providing methodological improvements.
