Overview of this book

Implementing Azure DevOps Solutions helps DevOps engineers and administrators to leverage Azure DevOps Services to master practices such as continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), containerization, and zero downtime deployments. This book starts with the basics of continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automated deployments. You will then learn how to apply configuration management and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) along with managing databases in DevOps scenarios. Next, you will delve into fitting security and compliance with DevOps. As you advance, you will explore how to instrument applications, and gather metrics to understand application usage and user behavior. The latter part of this book will help you implement a container build strategy and manage Azure Kubernetes Services. Lastly, you will understand how to create your own Azure DevOps organization, along with covering quick tips and tricks to confidently apply effective DevOps practices. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained the knowledge you need to ensure seamless application deployments and business continuity.

Summary

In this chapter, you learned about how to measure and assert the quality of software development processes. Releasing quickly and often requires the software that is written to be of high quality. Testing is needed to ensure that you write software of high quality with little technical debt in it. You learned about the different types of tests and the pros and cons of the different types of automated and manual tests. Finally, you learned how code reviews and tools can help to maintain high quality in your project by reporting on quality and by serving as a quality gate.

With this knowledge, you are now able to discuss the tests and test types to help you to decide which tests are needed for your applications, which risks you can address using which types of tests, and whether you need many of them or can omit them. You are now also capable of setting up and configuring...
