Because the life cycle of business case apps is short and the cadence with which you are deploying new versions should be much higher than in the past (before the AL era), you cannot build, test, and deploy the app manually.
To automate this part of the life cycle, you can use Azure DevOps Pipelines, which will build, test, and deploy for you. You feed the pipeline on one side with the source code you are producing, and at the other end, you have a tested application, which can be even automatically delivered or deployed. Right now, there are two types of pipeline:
- Build pipeline: The input is the source code, and the output is the application and other artifacts.
- Release pipeline: The input is the output produced by the build pipeline, and the output is a tested application delivered or deployed to selected places.
