Regulated web systems require traceable, rollback-safe UI delivery, yet conventional static deployments and Boolean flagging struggle to provide per-user versioning, deterministic fallbacks, and audit-grade observability. The objective of this research is to develop and validate a runtime frontend architecture that enables per-session component versioning with deterministic fallbacks and audit-grade traceability for regulated systems. We present a dynamic frontend architecture that integrates typed GraphQL flag schemas, runtime module federation, and structured observability to enable per-session and per-route component versioning with deterministic fallbacks. We formalize a version-resolution function v = f(u, r, t) and implement a production system that achieved a 96% reduction in MTTR, a P90 fallback rate below 0.7%, and over 280 k session-level logs across 45 days. Compared to static delivery and standard flag evaluators, our approach adds schema-driven targeting, component-level isolation, and audit-ready render traces suitable for compliance. Limitations include cold-start overhead and governance complexity; we provide mitigation strategies and discuss portability beyond fintech.

Organizations increasingly rely on Agile software development to navigate the complexities of digital transformation. Agile emphasizes flexibility, empowerment, and emergent design, yet large-scale initiatives often extend beyond single teams to include multiple subsidiaries, business units, and regulatory stakeholders. In such contexts, team-level mechanisms such as retrospectives, backlog refinement, and planning events may prove insufficient to achieve alignment across diverse perspectives, organizational boundaries, and compliance requirements. To address this limitation, this paper introduces a complementary framework and a supporting software tool that enable systematic cross-stakeholder alignment. Rather than replacing Agile practices, the framework enhances them by capturing heterogeneous stakeholder views, surfacing tacit knowledge, and systematically reconciling differences into a shared alignment artifact. The methodology combines individual Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM)-based process modeling, iterative harmonization, and an evidence-supported selection mechanism driven by quantifiable performance indicators, all operationalized through a prototype tool. The approach was evaluated in a real industrial case study within the regulated gaming sector, involving practitioners from both a parent company and a subsidiary. The results show that the methodology effectively revealed misalignments among stakeholders’ respective views of the development process, supported structured negotiation to reconcile these differences, and produced a consolidated process model that improved transparency and alignment across organizational boundaries. The study demonstrates the practical viability of the methodology and its value as a complementary mechanism that strengthens Agile ways of working in complex, multi-stakeholder environments.

The integration of modern artificial intelligence into software systems presents transformative opportunities and novel challenges for software quality assurance (SQA). While AI enables powerful enhancements in testing, monitoring, and defect prediction, it also introduces non-determinism, continuous learning, and opaque behavior that challenge traditional quality and reliability paradigms. This paper proposes a framework for addressing these issues, drawing on concepts from systems theory. We argue that AI-enabled software systems should be understood as dynamical systems, i.e., stateful adaptive systems whose behavior depends on prior inputs, feedback, and environmental interaction, as well as components embedded within broader socio-technical ecosystems. From this perspective, quality assurance becomes a matter of maintaining stability by enforcing constraints as well as designing robust feedback and control mechanisms that account for interactions across the full ecosystem of stakeholders, infrastructure, and operational environments. This paper outlines how the systems-theoretic perspective can inform the development of modern SQA processes. This ecosystem-aware approach repositions software quality as an ongoing, systemic responsibility, especially important in mission-critical AI applications.
