Stabilization Project for Established .NET Systems
In the stabilization project, I implement the prioritized measures together with your team. We protect critical paths with tests and stabilize build, deployment, CI/CD, the release process, and the architecture. Knowledge transfer and shared standards are part of the delivery.
Technical responsibility:
Oliver Fries
When is this service a good fit?
- A Forensic Code Assessment or an equivalent assessment has produced prioritized measures.
- Critical paths, build, deployment, the release process, or the architecture obstruct reliable changes.
- Your team wants to implement the prioritized measures together and carry the knowledge forward independently.
Process
- Starting point: the Forensic Code Assessment or an equivalent assessment provides the prioritized measures and their order.
- Safeguards: together with your team, we build a test network around critical paths and make every subsequent change verifiable.
- Implementation: we stabilize build and deployment and begin with a tightly scoped pilot for the prioritized measures. Small, verifiable changes keep accepted behavior traceable through code, tests, CI/CD quality gates, a passing build, and release. We expand the approach only when the measured results support it.
- Handover: knowledge transfer, documented standards, and acceptance are part of the project so your team can continue independently.
What you provide
- A prioritized assessment with a baseline, measures, and clear acceptance criteria.
- Access to the affected repositories, tests, build pipelines, and deployment pipelines.
- Team members for pairing, reviews, technical questions, and documented acceptance.
Result
- A test network that protects critical paths.
- Stable build and deployment processes with CI/CD and quality gates.
- Prioritized measures implemented in the release process and architecture.
- Documented standards and knowledge your team can carry forward.

Frequently asked questions
Can the project start without a prior assessment?
No. The prioritized findings determine the scope, order, and acceptance criteria for implementation.
Does the project replace your development team?
No. Implementation happens with your team so knowledge, standards, and responsibility remain within the company.
Is a full rewrite the goal?
No. The project works with the existing system and implements the prioritized measures in small, verifiable steps.

What happens next
For a specific project inquiry, describe your system, release situation, and reason for contacting me in the inquiry form. We then review the assessment, prioritized measures, pilot, collaboration, and acceptance criteria. This defines the project scope and fixed price within the published range.

The assessment classifies release risks in your business-critical software as stable, elevated risk, high risk, or critical.
