Technical insights, stories and opinions from our team of consultants, analysts, developers and testers.

The third and final instalment of this series concerns an assignment problem - handing out pizzas to employees.

In part one, we looked at solving a vehicle routing problem using OR-Tools. In the second of this three-part series, we'll use OR-Tools again to consider how to best optimise cooking times for our pizzas.

In part 1 of this 3-part series, Principal Consultant Owen Lacey talks us through solving a vehicle routing problem with Google OR-Tools — a powerful open source project for solving optimisation problems.

We spoke with Principal Software Consultant Owen Lacey about the types of projects he has worked on and what prospective developers can expect working at Audacia.

Today, we live in a world of multiple dependencies, with multiple packages, like npm, Yarn and NuGet housing reusable code for developers. But, with great power, comes great vulnerabilities. Learn how Audacia monitors for vulnerable dependencies in our latest insight.

Over the last few years, test automation has matured from being the cool new trend to something that every self-respecting software team uses. In our latest technology insight, we discuss how Audacia uses automated testing to target the API of an application and achieve quicker and more stable results.

Given how much we use open source software, it's in our interest to more actively support it. We therefore made the decision to open-source some of our own libraries. This article discusses some of the choices and challenges that we faced on this journey.

In this article, we will implement a simple optimisation model using Google OR-Tools by solving a classic Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP).

For the past two years, the majority of Audacia's new web development projects have been built on a stack of an ASP.NET Core RESTful API and An Angular UI running within an ASP.NET Core project. For our latest insight we conducted a speed experiment to compare the two.
