Pipeline Steps

A DevOps pipeline is an automated process that integrates the development, testing, and deployment of software into a single workflow. It helps to ensure that software is released quickly and reliably, with minimal errors.

Here are some of the common steps in a DevOps pipeline,

1. Code commit: Developers commit their code changes to a version control system (VCS) like Git.

2. Code checkout: A CI/CD tool like Jenkins or GitLab CI/CD automatically checks out the latest code from the VCS.

3. Build: The CI/CD tool builds the code into an executable application.

4. Unit testing: The CI/CD tool runs unit tests to check the functionality of the code.

5. Integration testing: The CI/CD tool runs integration tests to check that the application integrates correctly with other systems.

6. Security scanning: The CI/CD tool scans the code for security vulnerabilities.

7. Manual testing: Developers and testers may perform manual testing to check for usability, performance, and other non-functional requirements.

8. Deployment: The CI/CD tool deploys the application to a production environment.

9. Monitoring: The CI/CD tool monitors the application in production to detect and alert on failures
