1

Cloud

Cloud computing is a key component of CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery), as it provides the infrastructure and services needed to support the automation of software development and deployment processes. Using cloud computing in CI/CD can provide a number of benefits, such as improved scalability, flexibility, and reliability. It can also help reduce costs and enable organizations to deliver software faster and more efficiently.

2

Containerization

In the context of CI/CD, deployment refers to the process of releasing a new version of software into a production environment, where it can be accessed and used by end users. This typically involves several steps, such as building the software from its source code, packaging it into a deployable format, and then releasing it into the production environment.

3

Deployment

Containerization is a method of packaging software so that it can be run consistently across different environments. In the context of CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery), containerization helps to ensure that the software can be tested, built, and deployed in a consistent and reliable way, regardless of the underlying infrastructure.

4

Jenkins

Jenkins is an open-source automation server that is commonly used in CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) to automate the building, testing, and deployment of software. Jenkins provides a powerful and flexible platform for automating a wide range of tasks, and is widely used in organizations of all sizes and across a variety of industries. Overall, Jenkins is a powerful and widely-used tool for automating software development and deployment processes, and is an important part of many organizations’ CI/CD strategies.

The test is created by a subject-matter expert

Testlify’s skill tests are designed by experienced SMEs (subject matter experts). We evaluate these experts based on specific metrics such as expertise, capability, and their market reputation. Prior to being published, each skill test is peer-reviewed by other experts and then calibrated based on insights derived from a significant number of test-takers who are well-versed in that skill area. Our inherent feedback systems and built-in algorithms enable our SMEs to refine our tests continually.
