Pipeline Explanation
1. Code Repository: Developers push code changes to the repository, triggering the CI/CD pipeline.
2. Build & Compile: Source code is compiled, and dependencies are resolved.
3. Static Testing: The static testing phase ensures code quality and adherence to standards without executing the code.
Code Review: Peer or automated reviews identify logical errors.
Linting & Formatting: Automated tools check for syntax, style, and consistency.
Security Vulnerability Scanning: Tools like Checkmarx or SonarQube identify potential security risks.
4. SonarQube (Static Analysis):
Quality Gate: Code must meet predefined quality standards, such as acceptable levels of code coverage, cyclomatic complexity, and
vulnerability counts.
5. Build Artifacts & Packaging: Code is compiled into deployable artifacts or packages, such as Docker images, jar files, etc.
6. Unit Testing: Each module is tested independently to ensure functionality at a micro-level.
7. Integration Testing: Verifies interactions between modules, APIs, and services to ensure smooth communication.
8. Dynamic Testing: Involves executing the code in an environment that simulates production to catch functional, regression, and smoke
issues.
9. Performance Testing: Ensures the application meets performance requirements. Load and stress testing simulate high-traffic
conditions.
10. Deployment to Staging: Deploys code to a staging environment that mimics production for final testing.
Acceptance Testing: User Acceptance Testing (UAT), Security, and Compliance Testing happen here to validate the product from an
end-user perspective.
11. Deployment to Production: Code is deployed to the production environment after passing all quality checks.

12. Continuous Monitoring: Post-deployment, the application is monitored for performance, errors, and security events.
