How We Work: CI/CD Methodology for Development October 14, 2020

CI/CD is one of the industries most trusted practices for development teams. Through this agile methodology this practice allows our development team to focus on code quality, project requirements and deliverables and time efficient quality assurance testing and deployments.

The result? Quicker code reviews and issue resolution through fault isolations which means better code, design, development and a better ROI for our clients!

At Brand Labs, we utilize a CI/CD method to development, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment. This fast and effective process allows us to move quickly on releases and bug fixes so we can keep the consumer happy and the conversions coming!

Through CI/CD we are able to test, build and deploy through automation which would otherwise require manual labor for developers. The automated tests catch any small issues before they grow. This allows our developers to have more time to focus on more challenging aspects of a project and our quality assurance testing can focus on the small problems. The feedback is quick, which means we’re able to continuously improve on the end product.

With continuous testing and a sandbox environment which is a mirror of production, we are left with a ‘release ready’ state of development, where deployments of updates can be done at any time. The importance of a mirrored site to develop, test, and release the code prior to production cannot be undervalued. Being able to closely mimic the end-users experience is essential to ensuring the best user experience and issues are caught before a release. Through this containerization, our team is able to isolate and test only the area that will be affected by the release.

The result?

Quicker code reviews and issue resolution through fault isolations which means better code, design, development, and a better ROI for our clients!
