foundations
- self-service environments
- single repository of truth
- cattle not pets
- only done when running in production
fast & reliable automated testing
- continuous build test & integrate
- automated validation test suite
- catch errors early
- write tests before writing code
- run tests quickly, in parallel
- automate manual tests
- integrate performance tests
- integrate non-functional requirements testing
- pull the andon cord when tests fail
continuous integration
- adopt trunk-based development practices
- definition of done : at the end of each development cycle we must have integrated, tested, and potentially shippable code, demonstrated in a production-like environment, created from trunk using a one-click process and validated with automated tests
automate & enable low-risk releases
- automate deployment process
- enable automated self-service deployments
- integrate deployments into the pipeline
- decouple deployments from releases
