Mobile Release Evolution @XING
Since 2011 XING develops iOS and Android apps in-house. During this 7 years they tried a lot of approaches and technologies. Especially the way how the apps are released to the end user was and is changing continuously. In this presentation, Sergej would like to show the process of change of the release process from a few releases per year to a regular two-week release cycle for each platform. The challenge was to organize the efficient process after scaling of the mobile development at the company. Back in time only 1 team worked on both mobile apps. Today they have several asynchronously working contributor teams for every app in every release cycle.
