“We knew we would have to build a flexible platform to meet our own needs and, in doing so, we created a solution that met the needs of many other schools.”
"We're able to give developers security feedback early, so they can fix potential issues before they find their way into production."
“We have unit tests, we have integration tests, we have browser tests, and tests to see whether the pixels are matching perfectly."
“GitHub is a critical service for developers–our community relies on it. So for us, it’s important to have a presence."
“Anyone who’s working on internal product development commits code changes to GitHub as the entry point into our CI/CD processes."
“To accelerate feature development, you need to focus on centralization capabilities."
“We didn’t have a way to keep track of who owns an app, what technologies were in use, what resources we had available at any given time.”
“As more micro-services were added, and the team size grew, the number of SVN repositories increased. It became difficult to manage the complex codebase with a large team. Our code review cycles were taking a lot of time that slowed the team down.”
“It’s a great help in keeping our core platform and intellectual property secure.”
“It frees up developers’ minds a lot."
“Being able to see the code others have written—even if it’s poorly done—can help developers learn from each other and try new things. Using GitHub, we can send source code as a URL to less-experienced employees who can view it and get training as projects happen. Also, searching in GitHub helps us find and reuse code within our own repositories.”
“Until now, team members almost never reviewed code or provided feedback, but since the introduction of GitHub, people started using pull requests to provide code reviews. Recently, there’s been feedback coming in from other teams as well, so we’re seeing collaboration across departments—that almost never happened before.”
“After using it for just a couple of days, we saw that it was already giving us more appropriate suggestions. We knew it was just the beginning.”
“It was truly awe-inspiring to watch Copilot generate 70 lines of code."
“Writing comprehensive unit tests can be time-consuming and tedious, but with Copilot's assistance, we witnessed firsthand how it could rapidly generate test cases, saving us valuable time and effort, while also ensuring thorough test coverage.”
