DevOps testing that builds
quality into the pipeline.

DevOps and continuous testing services for teams that want to release more often without more risk. PinnacleQM integrates automated testing and quality gates into your pipeline and builds team capability.

The challenge

Pipelines are fast.
Testing often isn't.

Many teams invest in CI/CD tooling but still wait days for regression, or skip it altogether. Testing becomes the bottleneck, releases carry hidden risk, and production incidents undo the speed the pipeline promised. Speed without quality costs more.

PinnacleQM integrates automated tests, quality gates and reporting into your pipeline, and helps teams improve DevOps skills, tools and processes, so every build is checked and feedback arrives in minutes. Quality keeps pace with delivery.

Benefits

Speed and
safety together.

DevOps succeeds when quality moves at pipeline speed. We make testing continuous, automated and visible to the whole team. Feedback arrives fast.

  • Continuous feedback

    Every build is tested automatically, so developers hear about problems in minutes. Fixes happen while code is still fresh in developers' minds.

  • Quality gates

    Only changes that pass agreed checks progress towards production. Criteria are agreed and applied consistently.

  • Scaled execution

    Virtual testers run large regression packs in parallel within pipeline windows. Pipelines no longer wait days for regression.

  • Central visibility

    Results collate in QMFactory for teams and leaders to see readiness. Everyone sees the same results.

  • Team capability

    Training and coaching build DevOps and quality skills in your teams. Skills stay after the engagement ends.

  • Practice over tools

    We improve practices, ownership and feedback loops, not just tooling. Tools support practice changes rather than replacing them.

How we can help

Continuous testing
across the pipeline.

From commit to production, testing that moves at the speed of delivery.

Pipeline test integration

We integrate automated tests into your CI/CD pipeline, triggering the right tests at each stage and collating results centrally in QMFactory. Failures are reported straight back to the developers involved.

  • Stage-based test triggers
  • Central results collation
  • Open API integration

Quality gates

We define quality gates for each pipeline stage, covering functional results, coverage, performance baselines and security checks, and tune them so they protect quality without slowing the flow of work.

  • Gate criteria per stage
  • Automated pass or fail
  • Release readiness

Regression at pipeline speed

Enginuity's virtual testers run regression in parallel, so full packs fit within pipeline windows. When time is short, impact-based selection runs affected tests first and the full pack follows overnight.

  • Rapid defect retesting

Environments and data for CI/CD

We define environment promotion and test data strategies that keep pipelines supplied with stable environments and protected, realistic data, and detect environment drift early, before it causes false failures in the pipeline.

Change and release management

We improve change and release processes for DevOps, including version control for development and test assets, structured release governance and planned recovery, so releases become predictable, routine and rarely rolled back.

DevOps capability and training

We provide DevOps introduction and practitioner training, then coach teams on integrating quality engineering into their own pipelines, so skills are applied to live work rather than left in the classroom.

  • Quality in DevOps coaching
  • Team roadmaps

Our approach

From pipeline
to continuous quality.

We improve pipelines incrementally, proving value at each stage before moving on, so delivery keeps flowing while testing, gates and team capability mature.

Release safely.
  1. Assess

    Review pipeline, tools, tests, environments and team practices against goals. Bottlenecks are identified and ranked.

  2. Integrate

    Connect automated tests and reporting into the pipeline stages. Results flow back to developers automatically.

  3. Gate

    Introduce quality gates and criteria, starting with the highest-risk stages. Criteria tighten as confidence grows.

  4. Scale

    Expand automation and parallel execution so full regression fits pipeline windows. Execution time shrinks as coverage grows.

  5. Coach

    Build team capability and refine practices through metrics and retrospectives. Deployment frequency and failure rates are tracked.

Voice of the customer

In the words
of our customers.

We integrated Pinnacle’s teams and solutions into our capability. Services and solutions engaged within project delivery, business acceptance, patching and upgrades. We automate much more, with minimal backlogs as we automate within sprints. Business user satisfaction has never been higher.
Chief Technology Officer Enterprise systems client
Pinnacle now supports our SAP S/4HANA projects, integrations, maintenance and patching changes, reusing automation for scaled data obfuscation for offshore development teams and automating business processes. Great collaboration. I cannot imagine doing this without them.
SAP Programme Director SAP S/4HANA programme
We use Pinnacle’s services and automation platform for all our test and automation demands. Virtual worker bot groups replace each business team’s need to support changes. A small Pinnacle offshore team manages a massive library of tens of thousands of automated transactions. This is a massive saving and value to our company. We love this collaborative way of working.
Vice President, HR Services Enterprise client
After working with Pinnacle on client projects, we now involve them in business projects and maintenance too. Projects run smoother, with realism and optimisation in schedules. We deliver more reliably and achieve greater customer success. They set a high bar for communication, pace and quality.
Delivery Executive Software company
Pinnacle has helped ensure our customers are on latest versions and manage impacts to client systems. A valued partner in delivering upgrades and integrations, their automation frameworks work well with our platforms.
Executive Software company
We struggled to meet growing demands using traditional tools. With Pinnacle, we adopted several of their SaaS automation platforms. Now we have an army of virtual bots running any time, and we are not struggling to maintain script libraries anymore.
