Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) with Python Training Course

Agile Software Testing encompasses a set of testing practices that deliver timely and ongoing feedback on software quality issues, adhering to the principles of agile development.

Continuous Integration (CI) involves all team members merging their code changes multiple times throughout the day.

Real-world cases are discussed, and specific issues and questions are addressed and resolved in class.

This instructor-led, live training in Kenya (online or onsite) is designed for engineers aiming to use Jenkins 2 to build pipelines that automate the process of moving applications from development to production.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Jenkins 2.
• Adopt a script-based approach to automate every step of the software deployment process.
• Automatically generate application builds when software is committed to a version control system.
• Automatically initiate the compilation, testing, and packaging of software applications.
• Quickly respond to notifications and reports when issues arise.
• Install additional plugins to extend Jenkins functionality.

This instructor-led, live training in Kenya (online or on-site) covers advanced Jenkins configurations, security, and scaling techniques, and is aimed at DevOps engineers and software architects who wish to gain expertise in customizing Jenkins for complex software projects.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Optimize Jenkins for enterprise-level software projects.
• Implement advanced security measures.
• Build complex and scalable pipelines.
• Troubleshoot and maintain Jenkins installations effectively.

Once developers have finished writing code, they typically integrate it into an application, copy the application to a folder, run the installer, and then initialize it to verify that it functions as expected. This manual method does not scale well, is tedious, highly prone to errors, and lacks a mechanism for tracking changes throughout the process.

A more effective approach is to automate this workflow using Continuous Integration (CI). Continuous Integration encompasses the processes, tools, and infrastructure required to automate the building, deployment, and testing of software applications.

In this instructor-led live training, available either onsite or remotely, participants will learn how to transform a traditional, manual (or semi-manual) software deployment approach into an agile Continuous Integration (CI) model using Jenkins. Participants will engage in a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises throughout the course, applying their newly acquired knowledge to various software development and deployment challenges at every stage. Interaction between the instructor and participants is encouraged. Real-world scenarios are discussed, and specific issues and questions are addressed and resolved during the training. The course is particularly focused on .NET application development.
 
By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Jenkins for .NET application development
• Use Jenkins to automate the process of checking in and merging .NET source code into a code repository
• Use Jenkins to automate the process of downloading, compiling, and deploying an application to a release server
• Integrate Jenkins with other software development tools, such as issue trackers

Audience

• .NET developers
• Build engineers
• QA engineers
• Project managers
• Release managers
• DevOps engineers

Format of the Course

• A blend of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice
