Description

About this course

What you’ll learn

• Explain why continuous integration matters
• Implement continuous integration using Azure DevOps
• Configure builds and the options available
• Create an automated build workflow
• Integrate other build tooling with Azure DevOps
• Create hybrid build processes
• Describe what is meant by code quality and how it is measured
• Detect code smells
• Integrate automated tests for code quality
• Report on code coverage during testing
• Add tooling to measure technical debt
• Detect open source and other licensing issues

Prerequisites

• Students should have fundamental knowledge about Azure, version control, Agile software development, and core software development principles. It would be helpful to have experience in an organization that delivers software.
• It is recommended that you have experience working in an IDE, as well as some knowledge of the Azure portal. However, students who may not have a technical background in these technologies, but who are curious about DevOps practices as a culture shift, should be able to follow the procedural and expository explanations of continuous integration regardless.
