Common anti-patterns:
-
On Friday you, finish authoring the new code for your feature branch. On Monday, after running your code quality test scripts and each of your unit tests scripts, you will check in your code for the next scheduled release.
-
You are assigned to code a fix for a critical issue impacting a large number of customers in production. After testing the fix, you commit your code and email change management to request approval to deploy it to production.
Benefits of establishing this best practice: By implementing automated build and deployment management systems, you reduce errors caused by manual processes and reduce the effort to deploy changes helping your team members to focus on delivering business value.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Low
Implementation guidance
-
Use build and deployment management systems: Use build and deployment management systems to track and implement change, to reduce errors caused by manual processes, and reduce the level of effort. Fully automate the integration and deployment pipeline from code check-in through build, testing, deployment, and validation. This reduces lead time, encourages increased frequency of change, and reduces the level of effort.
