We do frequent releases to always provide the best experience to our customers. To do so, we follow our own development process using all the values of agile methodologies. We have been optimizing our workflow for years thanks to different types of feedback and lessons learned.
Our roadmap is built from customer feedback, internal feedback and market expectations.
New features or important modifications to the product will be communicated to our customers at least 1 month before the release. Each new feature is then correctly specified by a Product Owner with the help of our lead developer. During its development, we first perform automated tests to avoid any side effects. Any new code is reviewed by another developer. The code won’t be approved if it does not meet our requirements such as unit tests, scalability, documentations... Moreover, our quality assurance team also manually tests the new feature and feedback the development team.
When the feature is developed, the new code is deployed on our pre-production environment to run additional automated tests (such as regression tests) and an additional set of manual tests by our internal team. If everything works as expected, the release will be pushed to our users. Of course, if anything goes wrong, we can patch it or revert to the previous version immediately.
Our support team responds to tickets in a maximum of 48 hours (business days).
Errors related to a lack of knowledge or a misuse of the solution will therefore be processed within this timeframe. User may also use Sparkup’s Help Center to find answers to their questions. Moreover, we classify in 4 levels the possible incidents/bugs:
