- Module 1: Set up a continuous integration (CI) pipeline that automates the process of building your application.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Create a build pipeline in Azure Pipelines
- Map manual build steps to automated build tasks
- Publish your builds so others can access them
- Use templates to build multiple configurations (optional)
- Module 2: Find out about automated testing that proves your code to be maintainable, understandable, and functioning without repetitive manual testing.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Explain the benefits of automated testing and the kinds of testing you can use.
- Run unit tests locally and then in Azure Pipelines.
- Add dashboard widgets to visualize test runs over time.
- Perform code coverage testing to see how much of your code is covered by unit tests.
- Fix and verify test failures in your build pipeline.
- Module 3: In this module, the Space Game web team guides you through creating a build pipeline that produces a package that can be used by multiple applications.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Create and share packages that multiple applications can use.
- Create a build pipeline for your package and publish your package to Azure Artifacts.
- Connect an application to your package and build the application in Azure Pipelines.
- Push changes to your package and update your application to use them.
- Module 4: Work with guidance from the Space Game web team to set up your build agent running on-premises or on an Azure virtual machine running in the cloud.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Choose when to use Microsoft-hosted build agents and when to host your own
- Describe the options you have when you're managing your own build agents
- Bring up and configure your own agent to work with Azure Pipelines
- Connect your agent to a pipeline and build your application
- Module 5: Set up a continuous delivery (CD) pipeline that automates the process of deploying your application.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Define what continuous delivery is, why it's important, and what tools you can use.
- Create a basic release pipeline in Azure Pipelines that deploys a web application to Azure App Service.
- Examine pipeline analytics to understand the health and history of your releases.
- Module 6: Design and create a realistic release pipeline that promotes changes to various testing and staging environments.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Identify the stages, or major divisions of the pipeline, that you need to implement a multistage pipeline
- Explain when to use conditions, triggers, and approvals to promote changes from one stage to the next
- Promote a build through these stages: Dev, Test, and Staging
- Module 7: Run Selenium UI tests, a form of functional testing, in Azure Pipelines.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Define the role of functional tests and identify some popular kinds of tests you can run.
- Map manual testing steps to automated test cases.
- Run automated UI tests locally and in the pipeline by using Selenium.
- Module 8: Run automated load tests by using Apache JMeter, a form of nonfunctional testing, in Azure Pipelines.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Define the role of nonfunctional tests and explain how they compare to functional tests
- Identify some popular kinds of nonfunctional tests you can run
- Run automated load tests in the pipeline by using Apache JMeter
- Convert test results to a format that Azure Pipelines can visualize for you
- Module 9: Choose and implement a deployment pattern that helps you smoothly roll out new application features to your users.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Explain why deployment patterns matter
- Compare different deployment patterns so that you can choose the one that best suits your needs
