Method for Continuous Integration and Deployment Using a Pipeline Generator for Agile Software Projects

Abstract

Lately, the software development industry is going through a slow but real transformation. Software is increasingly a part of everything, and, software developers, are trying to cope with this exploding demand through more automation. The pipelining technique of continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) has developed considerably due to the overwhelming demand for the deployment and deliverability of new features and applications. As a result, DevOps approaches and Agile principles have been developed, in which developers collaborate closely with infrastructure engineers to guarantee that their applications are deployed quickly and reliably. Thanks to pipeline approach thinking, the efficiency of projects has greatly improved. Agile practices represent the introduction to the system of new features in each sprint delivery. Those practices may contain well-developed features or can contain bugs or failures which impact the delivery. The pipeline approach, depicted in this paper, overcomes the problems of delivery, improving the delivery timeline, the test load steps, and the benchmarking tasks. It decreases system interruption by integrating multiple test steps and adds stability and deliverability to the entire process. It provides standardization which means having an established, time-tested process to use, and can also decrease ambiguity and guesswork, guarantee quality and boost productivity. This tool is developed with an interpreted language, namely Bash, which offers an easier method to integrate it into any platform. Based on the experimental results, we demonstrate the value that this solution currently creates. This solution provides an effective and efficient way to generate, manage, customize, and automate Agile-based CI and CD projects through automated pipelines. The suggested system acts as a starting point for standard CI/CD processes, caches Docker layers for subsequent usage, and implements highly available deliverables in a Kubernetes cluster using Helm. Changing the principles of this solution and expanding it into multiple platforms (windows) will be addressed in a future discussion.

Software Development Management

“…CI/CD required test automation tolls and deployment automation tools. Test automation tools are used for continuously unit, functional, and performance testing when any change is introduced in the code to ensure the stability of the code base [18]. Similarly, for Delivery and deployment, automation tools are used for packaging and integrating code changes in the live environment at much faster rate without any human intervention and by adhering to all preprogrammed and automated business rules [18].…”

“…Beginning with comprehensive testing and security audits, the application's performance and integrity are ensured. The chosen deployment environment, whether cloud-based or on-premise, must be configured appropriately with the database [24]. The application code is transferred, and any necessary database migrations are performed.…”
