HOW WE DO WHAT WE DO
About Our Process
Good consultancies create solutions.
Great ones? They create experiences. At Arch DevOps we use what we call the “A-B-C” approach. Here’s what that looks like for projects that we deliver:
ASSESS
We start by performing a deep assessment to find out your team or company’s strengths, weaknesses, experience level, future goals and personalities.
BUILD
Using the information gathered from the assessment, we craft a custom solution just for you, that will grow with you, with minimal maintenance needed.
COACH
We don’t stop at building the solution, we make sure to train you on every aspect. Custom videos, documentation, work aids and other methods are used to accomplish this.
DELIVER
It’s a big world and there are a lot of people to help. That’s why when we hand the solution to you, the goal is to help you be independent from us. When you succeed, we succeed.

Our Happy Clients
Client Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
[Arch DevOps has] the best QA I’ve ever worked with. [They] took a cluster of automated tests and turned them into a suite that was reproducible and caught issues we would not have found otherwise. [Their] ability to find edges and do the right thing when it’s not easy is admirable. I would see [them] on a team as a substantial reason to join that team.
Mark Katerberg - Slalom
[Arch DevOps] was an extremely smart and innovative addition to our test team. [They] helped us identify the best automation tools for our needs, and then trained our test engineers to use them. Thanks!
Jim Varner - Aclara
[Arch DevOps'] contributions to automation and finding a solution when there is a need for automation is remarkable. [They are] wonderful mentor[s]. [They are] able to look at a problem and come up with a solution.
Liz Smith - Wells Fargo
[Arch DevOps'] passion for IT and dedication to improving Quality Assurance practices are refreshing, to say the least. With just a few minutes of conversation it is easy to see why [they are] considered to be one of the most knowledgeable and committed QA [teams] in the St. Louis area. [Their] commitment to TDD can be an asset to any organization that is interested in improving not only Quality Assurance but also their entire development practices and methodologies.
Mitch Galligan - Turnberry Solutions
I worked with [Arch DevOps] for six months during a challenging ITSM migration. In addition to standing up a new facility for the corporation, [they were] involved in maturing a new QA group and providing a dedicated QA presence on the ITSM project. Working with [them] was a joy because of [their] ability to manage the pressure of increasingly challenging deadlines, willingness to go the extra mile to ensure project success (...) I also valued [them] as a source of novel ideas and ability to think about how we should be working while tackling the task at hand.
Steve Tarver - CenturyLink Cloud
I hired [Arch DevOps] during my time at Intelispend to shore up QA automation and Continuous Integration (CI). I had identified the open source tools (WATIR, Ruby and Jenkins) and [they were] responsible to take it to the next level. [They] hit the ground running and made an impact in [their] first week at Intelispend. [They were] able to get up to speed very quickly though [they] never used the tools before. (...) Members of the dev team provided feedback (un-solicited) to me on how well [the] code was written. (...) It was great working with (them) and I would hire [them] again if that opportunity presents itself.
Srinivas Medepalli - Intellispend Prepaid Solutions
When we started agile & scrum at Arkansas Blue Cross we knew that without test automation it was going to be difficult to achieve the success we wanted to see with agile. We tried to build test automation on our own without the help of industry experts that resulted in failures. We then searched for an outside vendor and decided to partner with Amitech. [Arch DevOps], with Amitech, helped lead this initiative where we were able to successfully build a platform using open source tools. This platform supported our scrum team members’ skillsets where not only developers can participate in automation, but analysts and manual testers as well. By leveraging all team members, and by the training and guidance provided by Aimtech, we were successful in building out an automated functional test strategy that supported most, if not all, our web applications resulting in increased quality and overall customer satisfaction.
Jim Haley - Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield
My team and I are really happy with the help you provided for us. The workshops on Ruby and Cucumber were insightful, and guiding us through our initial set of tests helped set us on a clear path to success. We feel confident in moving forward with developing out our automated testing. Thanks!
