| azure devops test plans training: Learning Azure DevOps Myra Kelnor, 2024-08-04 To help cloud professionals make the most of the Azure DevOps platform, Learning Azure DevOps is a practical book that walks them through the process step-by-step. This book goes over all the bases of DevOps, including how to automate crucial tasks, deploy infrastructure as code (IaC), and set up and manage CI/CD pipelines. At the outset, the chapters will teach readers how to create Azure DevOps projects and link their repositories to VCSes like GitHub. Any application's build, test, and deployment processes, including Spring Boot's, can be automated with Azure Pipelines by configuring Pipeline as Code using YAML. To make sure that professionals can manage scalable, cloud-native apps, we also cover advanced topics like containerizing apps with Docker and deploying them to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Using frameworks such as JUnit, Mockito, and Postman, the book goes even further into automated testing to guarantee quality assurance and continuous testing. It teaches to automate backup and disaster recovery procedures for resilient operations and to use Flyway to perform schema migrations. Additionally, teams are guided to work efficiently together through Azure Boards, shared pipelines, and centralized infrastructure management, highlighting collaboration. Also covered is Azure DevOps Analytics, which readers can use to keep tabs on their projects and teams' performance using real-time dashboards. Key Learnings Integrate with Git for version control and set up Azure DevOps projects. Develop YAML-based Pipeline as Code to streamline the process of automating builds, tests, and deployments. Dockerize your apps and then launch them on AKS. Utilize Azure Boards and Project Boards to manage and monitor work items, tasks, and user stories. Add Postman, JUnit, and Mockito to your continuous integration pipelines to automate your application testing. Integrate Flyway into your Azure Pipelines to automate database schema migrations and achieve continuous delivery. Facilitate cross-team and cross-project cooperation by establishing shared pipelines and resources. Use Azure DevOps Analytics and performance insights for project management and monitoring. Deploy backups and failover procedures automatically in Azure DevOps. Use Terraform in conjunction with Azure Pipelines to deploy cloud-based IaC.

| azure devops test plans training: Continuous Delivery Jez Humble, David Farley, 2010-07-27 Winner of the 2011 Jolt Excellence Award! Getting software released to users is often a painful, risky, and time-consuming process. This groundbreaking new book sets out the principles and technical practices that enable rapid, incremental delivery of high quality, valuable new functionality to users. Through automation of the build, deployment, and testing process, and improved collaboration between developers, testers, and operations, delivery teams can get changes released in a matter of hours— sometimes even minutes–no matter what the size of a project or the complexity of its code base. Jez Humble and David Farley begin by presenting the foundations of a rapid, reliable, low-risk delivery process. Next, they introduce the “deployment pipeline,” an automated process for managing all changes, from check-in to release. Finally, they discuss the “ecosystem” needed to support continuous delivery, from infrastructure, data and configuration management to governance. The authors introduce state-of-the-art techniques, including automated infrastructure management and data migration, and the use of virtualization. For each, they review key issues, identify best practices, and demonstrate how to mitigate risks. Coverage includes • Automating all facets of building, integrating, testing, and deploying software • Implementing deployment pipelines at team and organizational levels • Improving collaboration between developers, testers, and operations • Developing features incrementally on large and distributed teams • Implementing an effective configuration management strategy • Automating acceptance testing, from analysis to implementation • Testing capacity and other non-functional requirements • Implementing continuous deployment and zero-downtime releases • Managing infrastructure, data, components and dependencies • Navigating risk management, compliance, and auditing Whether you’re a developer, systems administrator, tester, or manager, this book will help your organization move from idea to release faster than ever—so you can deliver value to your business rapidly and reliably. |
