DevOps Essential Series – 01/Apr/2020

Basic Concepts

• Packaging:
  • Packaging is converting the code into the format deployable.
  • Not all languages required code to be compiled
  • Some Languages expect the code to be compile before packaging. Examples are C, C++, Java, C# etc
  • Some Language don’t need the code to be compiled. Examples JavaScript, Python etc
• Static-Code Analysis:
  • For the code that is written, the Static Code Analysis tools tell the best practices.
  • Examples: Sonar Qube, FxCop (MSAA)
• Unit-Testing:
  • Unit-Testing helps in adding tests at the unit level.
  • Examples: Junit, Mstest, Jasmine etc..

Workflow for Compilation and Packaging

1. Compile the Code
2. Run Unit-Tests
3. Run Static-Code Analysis
4. Create a Package
5. Deploy the Package into Test Environments for Testing
6. Once Testing Approves it Deploy to UAT/Pre-Production/Staging
7. Deploy to Production

Microsoft.net Example

• As shown in the class.

Important Points to be clear

• Ensure you have commandline for all the steps from compiling the application to creating a package.
• Ensure you have identified
  • Tool used for Compiling the code
  • Tool used for Executing Unit Tests
  • Tool Used for Static Code Analysis
  • Tool used for creating Package
