Study Notes

Overview of Azure DevOps

Software as a Service (SaaS) platform for DevOps processes, enhancing collaboration among teams.
Previously known as Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Team Services.

Key Features

Azure Boards:
- Similar to Jira, supports various project management approaches:
  - Kanban: Continuous workflow without fixed sprints.
  - Scrum: Time-boxed sprints with defined roles and ceremonies.
  - CMMI: Process improvement framework integration.
- Allows creation of work items such as Epics and Features.
Azure Repos:
- Acts like GitHub for source control with support for multiple repositories per project.
- Tracks branches and commits back to work items in Azure Boards.
- Integrated with other Azure tools for seamless connectivity.
Azure Pipelines:
- Automates various steps, including Unit Testing, Packaging, and Deployment.
- Facilitates Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD).
- Uses YAML files stored in the repository for build definitions.
Azure Artifacts:
- Central storage for various types of artifacts including build outputs like JAR, DLL, and WAR files.
Azure Test Plans:
- Comprehensive testing capabilities beyond unit tests, including functional, integration, and load testing.
- Manages both automated and manual tests with built-in test reporting features.

Practical Application

Emphasize hands-on experience with Azure Pipelines in labs to familiarize with concepts, as no pipeline creation is needed for exams.
