What is the difference between a production server and a test server?

 



A production server is where live data is stored. It is configured to restrict access to authorized users and to limit control to system administrators. 

A test server is the server used to test the application. It is typically unrestricted and allows access to and control by a user or group of users. The development server is where the actual development of the application takes place.

What is CI, CD & CT?

Continuous Integration (CT), continuous Testing (CT) and continuous Delivery (CD) accelerate the code release process and are thus crucial to DevOps. These processes are often referred to as a  CI/CD pipeline  or a  DevOps pipeline. Continuous integration.  In the CI stage, developers write a feature, update or fix, then commit the code to a central code repository. Organizations often use  version control tools  like GitHub and Atlassian Bitbucket. These tools enable developers to write or modify code without interrupting another developer's progress. Once the code commits to the repo, Continuous Testing (CT) begins to  shine. In the initial stage of the pipeline, static code analysis can check for syntax issues and common vulnerabilities. Use plugins in the CI server to configure static code analysis with a tool.  Static code analysis is an initial test of the code. If the code passes, the unit test stage comes next, unless these tests wer...

It is important to note that the selected repository location MUST NOT  exist. In order for this new repository to be initialized, you must first create a file, any file, in your local repo.Then, you must Commit and Push to the remote Git repository location. Step 3: Clone a Remote Repository to a Local Repository In order to clone a repository, click on the “ Clone Existing Repository ” link in the Git GUI window. An existing repository is one that is already initialized and/or has commits pushed to it. Note:  In the Source Location field, fill in the Git remote repository location. The target directory works as same in the case of creating a local reposi...
