Hello there!
It’s mid-year… already… how the time flies, especially when busy and having fun!
2019 has been energising for us
at KRS. We have launched three new Domain Driven Design workshops, and continue to examine how we solve problems. We’ve presented on Systems Thinking
at two international conferences, and will be talking about this again in September at the BA Summit.
Collaboration and communication are two of
the essentials driving us all forward, together. Whether this is between people, companies or pieces of code. Read below for a snapshot of how we are using
these strategies for optimal digital transformation and to forge successful relationships.
Let us know if we can assist your company design better
systems,
Lor
We think, mistakenly, that success is the result of the amount of time we put in at work, instead of the quality of time we put in.

Test Coverage Exposed

Unit Tests are ubiquitous in software development. But is Test Coverage the opposite of allowing developers to be creative thinking professionals
writing high quality unit tests?

| Speaking the same language
| Harnessing the power of Domain Driven Design
To function optimally and achieve the desired results, it usually helps if
we all speak a common language. Sounds simple enough, right? However, it’s not always that easy to achieve, which is why this year, KRS
is going all out to promote Domain Driven Design (DDD) principles. Lor has been an invited speaker on the topic, along with her insights on
Systems Thinking (more on that later), at a number of key local and international conferences. Here she writes for IT Web about the power of
harnessing DDD.

InDDDaba
| |
Still on the subject of Domain Driven Design, KRS has set-up a DDD user group to support the local DDD community– InDDDaba. In
April, KRS co-hosted a meet-up with the Scrum Master Meetup group in Cape Town, to introduce the concept of domain driven design to tackle
complex problems.

Team Work
| |
We did mention that it’s been a fun time at KRS, exemplifying this and demonstrating the true power of the collective to solve
everyday issues, KRS entered two teams into the #Startupbootcamp and RCS Future Cities hackathon earlier this year. Acquitting themselves
well, both teams walked away with some key insights, a couple of awards and also, a workable solution to Cape Town’s ever growing
traffic and transport problem.
