Course WEBB19 Application Lifecycle Management.

The goal of the course is for students to gain knowledge of programming projects and their environments, and of how projects are set up, configured and finally installed (deployed) to different test environments. Students will also gain knowledge of build and test automation and version control. The purpose is for students to get into and understand real project setups with environments and configuration for automation and quality assurance. The approved student has knowledge of - How version control works in a programming project and which routines usually apply to version control - How the environment in a project can be set up to automate various routines, for example automatic builds such as continuous integration when code is checked in - The difference between different types of environments (test, staging, production and others) and how these environments can be configured for different purposes - How a programming solution can be installed to different environments The course provides skills in... - Setting up projects and configuring them, for example to use version control - Creating unit tests for applications - Working practically with version control, taking into account for example branch management, different releases, merge conflicts and more - Setting up a project environment to automate various routines, for example automatic builds such as continuous integration, with agents, build configurations and triggers when code is checked in - Connecting unit tests to CI - Carrying out code reviews and troubleshooting via the source code history - Installing a programming solution to different environments The approved student has the competence to - Based on given conditions, set up and configure a fit-for-purpose environment, with version control, for a programming project and understand how this can best be done
