Chapter 13: Exploring the Software Life Cycle
In previous chapters, we explored many different aspects of Java application development. Starting from the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which includes requirements collection and architecture design, we focused on many different technological aspects, including frameworks and middleware.
At this point, several cross-cutting concerns need to be looked at, regardless of the kind of application we are building and the architectural style we choose.
In this chapter, we are going to explore such aspects. We will start with things such as the maintenance of source code (including versioning and branching strategies), ranging through to some core topics related to deploying, Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), and other concepts related to the SDLC in its entirety.
In this chapter, these are the topics we are going to cover:
- Source Code Management
- Testing
- Deploying
- Continuous integration...
