How China Galaxy Securities Achieved Leading‑Edge DevOps Maturity in Three Projects
China Galaxy Securities leveraged the CAICT DevOps maturity model to pass Level 3 continuous delivery assessments for three core projects, boosting delivery quality, efficiency, and cross‑functional collaboration while showcasing measurable improvements in test coverage, automation, and operational stability.
Large enterprises worldwide have proven that standardization and tool empowerment are key to success. The CAICT DevOps standard and its continuous delivery pipeline platform can significantly improve quality and efficiency, enhancing market competitiveness through safer, more agile practices.
The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) released the "R&D Operations Integration (DevOps) Capability Maturity Model" series, guiding enterprises in DevOps implementation. Banks, securities, insurance, telecom, and internet firms have participated in CAICT assessments, improving IT capabilities.
On December 15, 2023, the GOLF+ IT New Governance Leadership Forum in Beijing announced the latest DevOps and AIOps assessment results. China Galaxy Securities submitted three projects—GLEBA Pricing Engine, ESB Interface Management Platform, and Digital Employee Work Platform—and all passed the CAICT Level 3 continuous delivery assessment, reaching a domestic leading level.
Q: Please introduce your company and the projects evaluated.
A: China Galaxy Securities Co., Ltd. is a leading comprehensive financial services provider. The three projects are the GLEBA Pricing Engine for OTC derivatives, the ESB Interface Management Platform for internal service integration, and the Digital Employee Work Platform supporting multiple internal systems.
Q: How does passing the DevOps assessment help your enterprise?
A: It guided our DevOps practice, improving delivery quality and efficiency, enhancing automation, and fostering cross‑functional collaboration. Metrics such as 100% interface test coverage, high unit‑test coverage, zero static code issues, 30‑minute pipeline repair time, and 100% deployment success were achieved.
Q: What challenges did you face during the assessment?
A: Immature tools, skill gaps, and cultural resistance. We upgraded tools, conducted over 20 training sessions, and transformed siloed teams into cross‑functional groups, improving communication and collaboration.
