In this paper we describe the selection of a modern build automation tool for an industry research partner of ours, namely an insurance company. Build automation has become increasingly important over the years. Today, build automation became one of the central concepts in topics such as cloud native development based on microservices and DevOps. Since more and more products for build automation have entered the market and existing tools have changed their functional scope, there is nowadays a large number of tools on the market that differ greatly in their functional scope. Based on requirements from our partner company, a build server analysis was conducted. This paper presents our analysis requirements, a detailed look at one of the examined tools and a summarized comparison of two tools.
Microservices are meanwhile an established software engineering vehicle, which more and more companies are examining and adopting for their development work. Naturally, reference architectures based on microservices come into mind as a valuable thing to utilize. Initial results for such architectures are published in generic and in domain-specific form. Missing to the best of our knowledge however, is a domain-specific reference architecture based on microservices, which takes into account specifics of the insurance industry domain. Jointly with partners from the German insurance industry, we take initial steps to fill this gap in the present article. Thus, we aim towards a microservices-based reference software architecture for (at least German) insurance companies. As the main results of this article we thus provide an initial such reference architecture together with a deeper look into two important parts of it.
