Technical Architecture
  • Technical Architecture
Use Case

Scrum Master

DevOps Engineer

  • Create Build Pipeline for given project technology stack
  • Add additional pipeline tasks for various testing stages (Unit testing, Functional testing, Performance testing etc.)
  • Create Release pipeline
  • Add additional tasks with relevant quality check gates
  • Recommend Best practices for various DevOps stages – which tool to use, what quality check gate to enforce etc.

IT Director

  • Usage of which combination of CI/CD and testing tools has resulted in the lowest number of bugs pre and post production in the last three months?
  • How many projects are executed and managed purely on Microsoft stack without any use of third-party tools?

Tester

  • Which tool may I use for Unit Testing?
  • Which tool is the best for coded UI testing to be integrated with CD pipeline?

What is Advantage Azure CALM
A Conversational Assistant for data-infused Application Lifecycle Management.
It helps different personas (e.g. PMs, Scrum Master, Testers, Developers and so on) in three ways: Act, Assist and Advise through insights gathered from lifecycle data
  • Finding status of various activities of different resources / projects across an engagement is time consuming and not accurate
  • Ensuring and enforcing adherence to agile process is difficult only through manual verification
  • Accurate Projection of program / project trajectory based on current status and dependencies is a difficult process in itself
  • Planning for a new project
  • Pre-up for a Stand-up meeting
  • Prepare a sprint summary
  • Verify current burn-out ratio, sprint velocity
  • Verify resource-level productivity
  • Advice to mitigate critical risks
  • Azure App Services
  • Azure Storage
  • SQL Azure
  • Redis Cache
  • Azure Cognitive Service – LUIS
  • Azure Cognitive Service – QnAMaker
  • Azure Search
  • Azure Text Analytics
  • Logic App
  • Product Perpetual Price (USD 40K) + Configuration & Customization Price (Based On Complexity Fn) + Support Price - based on resources deployed and BAG P&L.
  • Complexity Fn(# of use cases, # of channels, # of Language, Text/Voice combination, type of Authentication, # of Integration point, Usage of various CALM features). Once datapoints are collected the data is to be fed into estimation sheet which will produce effort. Price for effort can be determined in standard ways followed by BMG.
  • AMC – Not factored in the above cost.
