Go2Group Services - SPLA

What is Software Production Line Automation (SPLA)?
SPLA is not new. It represents the culmination of decades of industry experience, implemented using the best tools and infrastructure on the market today. 

Software Production Lines vs. Manufacturing Processes
SPLA focuses on the software change as the item to be mass produced. Recognizing software changes will be made for years to come, software development managers realize the importance of investing in tooling and infrastructure to create a highly efficient process for producing software changes.

SPLA focuses on the software manufacturing process, with emphasis on deploying technology and infrastructure to manage software changes throughout the lifecycle, automating the tasks of software building, testing, and deployment. It is especially effective in distributed software development environments (across a campus or between continents).

Software Production Lines Today
At Go2Group, we continuously monitor the industry for emerging technologies to enhance our vision, and to ensure we are utilizing the latest, best techniques and technologies. Our expertise makes us particularly well suited to evaluate, deploy, and integrate various components of the software production line. Go2Group has provided SPLA services and support to clients including McDonald Bradley, Monster.com, GTech, and Delphi Technologies.
