🪕 BestITConsulting Continue Integration and Delivery Pipeline

Continue Integration (CI) is a development practice that require developers to integrate code into a shared repository several times a day. Each check-in is then verified by an automated build, allowing teams to detect probelms early.

Continuous Delivey (CD) is a software engineering approach in which teams keep producting valable software in short cycles and ensure that the software can be reliably released at any time.

Continuous Delivery (CD) = Continuous Integration (CI) + Complex automated testing + automated deployment

🪕 The Main CD principles

• Create development process
• Every change must be integrated
• Ready to release in any time
• The automatic, static, integration tests must be included
• Catch defects as early as possible

CI System based on BestITConsulting internal services.

Jenkins - the CI assistant for building, Version Control service for storing codes, Sonar for code verification and static code analysis and Atifactory for saving the binary entities or downloading the dependencies.

Jenkins - CI/CD system

Sonar - static code inspection tool SonarQube

artifactory - service for storing binary files

Blackduck - license, vulnerability audit.

Crucible - code review system

Checkmarx - security issue

Confluence - Knowledge Base

JIRA - project management
