Transforming traditional industries like manufacturing depends on building data driven services and software needed for the services. Delivering reliable software depends on a disciplined and efficient software development lifecycle. And fast, reliable software development depends on automated testing.

Ponsse is one of Europe’s leading forestry equipment manufacturers. In 2017, we set out to build a completely modern digital infrastructure for our equipment, the Ponsse Manager Application.

This application helps machinery contractors explore working conditions, locations, maintenance needs and vehicle history. To succeed, our software development teams knew that we needed to adopt modern and effective ways of working. Our technology stack crosses multiple clouds from Azure to Mulesoft to Salesforce, leading to sophisticated challenges in ensuring all the systems work together well.

Learn how we developed a focus on automated testing as a foundation for reliable software delivery, and how we’ve been able to progress so far in reducing costs, increasing reliability, and extending the power and confidence of our testing teams.
