At the 25th GOPS Global Operations Conference in Shenzhen, China Galaxy Securities showcased its successful dual certification under ITU DevOps standards, detailing the Bond Investment Business Support System's continuous testing achievements, pipeline integration, and the broader impact on financial DevOps practices.
On April 25, 2025, the 25th GOPS Global Operations Conference in Shenzhen announced the simultaneous release of ITU DevOps international and domestic standards assessment results by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.
China Galaxy Securities participated with two projects: the Galaxy TianGong Account Service Platform and the Bond Investment Business Support System, both passing the CAICT DevOps Capability Maturity Model Continuous Testing (CT) Level 3 assessment, indicating leading domestic capabilities.
Interview with Gong Jian, head of the testing team, reveals details of the Bond Investment Business Support System project, its role in FICC, the comprehensive platform functions, and the impact of continuous testing standards, including a fully integrated development‑to‑release pipeline, upgraded testing tool platform, and a DevOps testing culture.
Q: Please introduce yourself and the projects you evaluated. A: China Galaxy Securities is a leading comprehensive financial services provider; the Bond Investment Business Support System serves FICC, offering risk control, statistics, management, and data‑research functions.
Q: What changes did the continuous testing standard bring to your team? A: It enabled an end‑to‑end pipeline from requirement to release, stabilizing delivery cycles; we upgraded the testing tool platform for standardized management and established a DevOps testing culture through stand‑ups, kanban, and retrospectives.
Q: What specific improvements resulted from the assessment? A: The project built a customized CI/CD pipeline, introduced a unified testing tool platform, and embedded left‑shift and right‑shift testing practices, enhancing system quality and confidence in project management.
