AZ-400: Plan work flow and feedback cycles

Choose a process flow or process template to work in Azure Boards

Waterfall Development

  1. Requirements analysis
  2. Design
  3. Coding/Implementation
  4. Testing
  5. Deployment
  6. Maintenance
  • Slow to offer feedback, as the solution may not be developed until weeks, months, or even years after the requirements analysis

Agile Development

  • Compresses the steps of waterfall development into shorter bursts (typically "sprints") with a focus on smaller changes with more rapid feedback and iteration

CI/CD

  • Continuous integration/continuous deployment
  • Making frequent, small, reversible changes to code
  • Automating build, test, and deployment steps

Source Control

  • Useful for tracking changes to code
  • Also referred to as version control
  • Facilitates collaboration on projects, particularly large-scale projects with many developers

General Best Practices

  • Commit code changes early and often to keep them small
  • Automate code checks, builds, tests, and deployments as much as possible
  • Continuously monitor application health and performance through various tools and metrics
  • Set up monitoring alerts and automate triage when possible
