- Code Repository : maintain a main branch in the Code Repository which stores all of the Production ready code. From this main branch we can deploy code to Production at any time.
- Build Automation : create build environment in such way that even with one command build can be triggered.
- Self Testing Build : Every build should be self tested, which means that with every build there is a set of tests that runs to ensure high quality
- Daily Commit to Baseline : developers should commit all of their changes to baseline on a daily basis. This is to ensure that large amount of code is not waiting for integration with the main repository for a long time.
- Do Not Check In Broken Build : developers tend to check in broken build. And when the build breaks, the same developers who broke the code has to spend time to build it and get it working quickly.
- Always Commit Tests Locally : Running a commit tests locally is a sanity check before actually committing to the action. This will ensure that what we believe to work actually works.
- Production Like Environment Testing : maintain a pre - prod environment which is very close to or nearly like a production environment. Perform testing on this pre-prod environment to check for any integration issues.
- Publish Build Results : publish the build results on a common platform or site so that everyone can access and see these results and take corrective actions immediately.
- Deployment Automation : automate the deployment process to the extent that in a build process we can add the steps of deploying the code to a test environment. On this test environment the latest delivery can be tested by all stakeholders
