How can I define and add continuous engineering into the development cycle of software?

 In the context of DevOps, continuous engineering includes Integration of the engineering practices in the software development cycle to ensure the constant automated testing process. The continuous engineering in DevOps consists of automated testing, continuous integration, and continuous development.

Automated testing

includes unit tests, integration of tests, and end-to-end tests by using frameworks like Junit, jest, or selenium. You can add these tests into your CI/CD pipeline to ensure the quality of your coding:-

“npm install jest—save- dev”

In your package.json:-

{

  “scripts”: {

       “tests”: “jest”

}

}

Continuous integration (CI)

It uses CI tools such as Jenkins, Travis CI, or GitHub Actions for the task of automation. It is used in testing your code whenever changes are pushed into the version control system.

Here is the example given of GitHub Actions workflow:-

Name: Continuous Integration

On

  Push:

    Branches:

Main

Jobs:

  Build:

    Runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    Steps:

Name: Checkout repository

      Uses: actions/checkout@v2

Name: Set up Node.js

      Uses: actions/setup-node@v3

      With

        Node-version: ‘14’

Name: Install dependencies

      Run: npm install

Name: Run tests

      Run: npm test

Continuous deployment (CD)

It is used I’d implementation of CD pipelines for the task of automation of the deployment process. It uses the tools such as Kubernetes, Docker, and Ansible.

Here is the example given of using Kubernetes Deployment YAML:-

apiVersion: apps/v1

kind: Deployment

metadata:

  name: your-app

spec:

  replicas: 3

  selector:

    matchLabels:

      app: your-app

  template:

    metadata:

      labels:

        app: your-app

    spec:

      containers:

Name: your-app

        Image: your-registry/your-app:latest

The implementation of continuous engineering ensures that the development, testing and the process of deployment should be ow seamlessly and continuously optimized. You can adjust the tools and practices according to your specific requirements related to your particular project.
