Architecture is for everyone. Whether you're a developer, service designer, policymaker or architect by profession, the decisions you make help shape how public services work. By bringing people together across disciplines, we can share expertise, challenge assumptions and build the foundations for better, more joined-up public services.
The Technology Code of Practice has helped guide public sector technology delivery since 2013. As technology evolves, the guidance must evolve too. We're reviewing the Code to ensure it remains relevant, practical and authoritative. Help shape its future by sharing your experiences, challenges and priorities for improvement.
Activities estimated to take weeks were completed in hours. Automated test coverage increased from 0% to 96%, meaning almost all code in a legacy application could be checked automatically before making changes. These findings from our pilots show how AI assisted approaches can help organisations analyse legacy systems faster and modernise them with greater confidence.
The cross-government testing community’s Quality Engineering Principles have been developed to help teams build quality throughout the lifecycle of a digital service.
Architects came together for our first ‘Architects Assemble’, to create firmer foundations for technology and data, and ultimately better outcomes for communities.
The new Enterprise Architecture team explains our aims and how you can get involved to help build the future of digital government.
