Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: We’ve learned as an agency that one size doesn't always fit all. So as part of any engagement with a new client there are key planning activities we'll conduct:; ; Onboarding - It’s important we understand the objectives of the applications we're supporting. The Onboarding meeting is an opportunity for the team to discuss details, agree on the approach, structure, governance and processes. ; Responsibility - We’ll make sure that we know who within your organisation has been delegated with decision making responsibility, and who to go for signoff. This will smooth the delivery of work and responses to requests.; Communication - While our Service Desk is the main communication tool between Code Enigma and clients we'll also establish other touchpoints. We'll schedule regular Service Reviews between you and our account management team. This is your opportunity to provide feedback for us to gauge how effectively we're delivering your services. We'll ensure we remain aligned with your objectives, and can anticipate and adapt to any changes that may be on your horizon.
• Planning service works with specific services: No

Training

• Training service provided: No

Setup and migration

• Setup or migration service available: No

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: In our CI/CD process there is an emphasis on controls and checks, both qualitative and quantitative. Within the development lifecycle: ; All custom code changes run through a peer-review process to ensure that coding standards and security principles are properly applied and to catch possible bugs early. ; End-to-end tests or unit tests are created for the features we develop. ; End-to-end testing helps verify the complete application and sub-systems flow, increasing the test coverage and confidence in the overall software performance, including cross browser/device compatibility. ; Unit testing improves code quality, helping developers to identify the smallest defects that might be present in the units before they go for integration testing.; ; All developers are familiar with common vulnerabilities, referring to the OWASP Top Ten as a bare minimum. All custom code must follow the standard security guidelines for the technology in use. We use tools such as Nightwatch for functional testing, BrowserStack or LambdaTest for browser/device compatibility, and axe DevTools and Lighthouse for accessibility testing. You’ll contribute as well through engaging with demos, user acceptance testing and regular feedback sessions to keep us on track with your expectations.

Security testing

• Security services: No

Ongoing support

• Ongoing support service: Yes
• Types of service supported:
  • Buyer hosting or software
  • Hosting or software provided by your organisation
  • Hosting or software provided by a third-party organisation
• How the support service works: Starting from 2 days a month on retainer, this time will typically be dedicated to a particular discipline. Our Project Management team will plan the retainer time with you each month to ensure that the right resource is allocated and the outcomes are agreed so that the time is used effectively. You're able to maintain a backlog of work in our project management software, that can be drawn into the planning. This could include the optimisation of user journeys, feature development or content optimisation. Each retainer is followed by a review session to measure the level of success versus the planned deliverables.; ; The benefit of a retainer is the regular, planned iteration of your websites. The time can be easily aligned with your development roadmap and relied upon to respond to new initiatives to improve your site. It is proactive, and the time can be used for discovery and requirement gathering, as much as the delivery of new features.

Service scope

• Service constraints: We can only support sites using version control. ; Clients and their services are required to conform to our ISO 27001 information security policies. ; We work as a distributed team so will not normally work onsite. ; We're unable to support Windows servers on any hosting platform. ; We're Debian Linux specialists, infrastructure running other versions may require migration to a new server. ; Security in our hosting service is a shared responsibility between Code Enigma, Amazon Web Services (or other hosting provider), and the client.

  Fighting climate change

  We choose to base many of our services on AWS due to their commitment to be net zero by 2040. We review the data centres we use against the Green Web Foundation's hosting directory (https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/directory/) to look for opportunities to minimise our environmental impact. AWS' approach differs from most other green hosting companies in that it is not only based on offsetting, carbon credits, and tree planting, but also significant investment in renewable energy schemes internationally. We are exploring the prospect of using company funds to subsidise “green” home improvements for our UK employees (replacing gas boilers with heat pumps, solar panel installation, insulation improvements etc.). We reviewed our banks against https://switchit.green/ and have closed our account with HSBC. We currently bank with the Co-Operative, Nationwide, and an investment bank in the North of England, and are investigating Unity Trust and Tide because of their ethical and sustainable approach to banking. We are also official partners of the Eden Reforestation Projects https://www.edenprojects.org/partners?search=Code+Enigma
