OnTarget (Abound Health)
Engineering Excellence Across Platforms
From CI/CD to AI-Assisted Dev Tools
Case Study Summary:
OnTarget is Edge8’s Vietnam-based engineering team supporting high-velocity tech companies. In this engagement, the team partnered with Abound Health to re-architect mobile pipelines, modernize infrastructure, and implement AI-assisted development practices.
The Challenge:
Unstructured CI/CD pipeline for mobile releases
Outdated Java infrastructure and desktop frontend
Lack of security layers including MFA and API protection
Low test coverage and fragmented technical documentation
No tooling in place for AI-assisted development
Our Approach:
Owned and executed CI/CD pipelines for mobile + desktop
Upgraded from JDK 8 to JDK 17, validating performance and stability
Patched XSS vulnerabilities, secured forgotten password flow, and implemented MFA
Scaled test coverage from 20% to 50% across integration + unit tests
Redesigned user interface with a modern, intuitive layout
Evaluated and implemented GitHub Copilot for AI code assistance
Strengthened peer code review, onboarding docs, and domain-specific knowledge base
The Result:
Faster, more secure mobile release cycles
Strengthened platform security and maintainability
Significant UI/UX improvements across OnTarget products
30% increase in developer productivity with AI code assist
Enhanced onboarding and technical documentation infrastructure
A resilient engineering culture aligned with innovation and speed
