At Coforge, we know that no matter where you are along your Appian Journey, be it just starting out or on year 3 with a fully functional COE, you’re always looking for ways to improve.
You want your applications to be free of bugs, following best practices, and developed quickly. Time is always the biggest factor in determining how successful an application is, spend too long developing and by the time you’ve deployed your problem has changed and your application needs to be re-written. Go too fast and you end up with bugs and shortcuts that make upgrades problematic later. Coforge have taken our years of Appian development experience and established how to help you accelerate delivery timelines, without compromising application quality.
Starting with development, the suite can significantly cut down on the time it takes to do code reviews. With Virtual Application Reviewer (similar to a consultant reviewing each line of code), developers can spend more time developing, and less time reviewing.
Then onto testing. There’s one phrase when spoken on a daily stand up that causes universal groans: “regression testing”. It’s fundamentally important, but it’s usually an all-hands-on-deck moment that takes resources away from development and ultimate deployment. With our testing automation solution, organizations can continuously add interface based tests as they develop. And when it comes time to deploy, a quick click and test that cases are executing and new features are working properly is all thats needed.
The last and most commonly forgotten piece is deployment. The continuous delivery solution for Appian makes it easy to coordinate Test and VAR for any deployment, facilitate code check-in, and integrates out of the box with Jenkins so your Appian deployments neatly fit into your deployment pipeline.
Streamline and Automate Appian Application Review Process
Virtual Application Review (VAR) is an Appian application built to automate the Appian Code Review Process. VAR automatically reviews the Appian application against a pre-defined set of best practices and provides a 360 degree view on code quality. It is also integrated with Appian Health Check and Unit Testing Framework to provide better visibility of the objects that comply with coding standards.
