Our mission within Testing Enablement in Product development IT is to develop and deliver software solutions that are needed in Scania and TRATON R&D testing and test vehicle processes. Our application suite is currently built with part legacy and part modern technologies, with the goal of moving to a new modern platform that enables delivery of adaptable, scalable, and secure solutions to our global users.  

Our current tech-stack is based on a Java back-end (legacy: EJB; new services: Spring Boot and Micronaut), Maven and Gradle for build automation, and a front-end that spans from JSF (legacy) to Angular (new services). In terms of Infrastructure, all older systems run on JBoss and Tomcat, but new development is increasingly cloud-native (AWS). GitLab is used for version control, and CI/CD-pipelines are also primarily managed through GitLab (Jenkins for some legacy).
