Core principles

Editing the source

If anything changes in source,  a new release will be created (New source = new build = new release)

Automatic testing

The purpose of Servoy Cloud is to enable teams to perform at a high pace, releasing often and fast, whilst keeping or increasing the quality of their application. To ensure the quality of releases each and every time extensive automatic testing is required. These tests basically describe (and automatically test) what quality means, the describe (and test) the functionality of the application.

Servoy Cloud contains both unit test engine and a end to end test engine

Unit tests will run every time a new release is generated and creates a report. It can optionally also check code coverage and produce a report of the % code covered by the unit test.

End tests it will run every time a new release is generated  and create a report.

If any test fails, the new release will not be generated.

Servoy Cloud Production guarantees that end to end test that succeeded in a pre-production environment will function and perform in a production environment.

Pre-production

Every release of an application moves from development to user acceptance to pre-production to production stage.

The Pre-production environment is architecturally identical to the production environment. All steps to promote you solution to production are automated and tested  in pre-production before promoting to production.

Pre-production is also used to do performance testing using end to end test. This means that pre-production must also be a solid representation of production in terms of data size.A

In each step the quality of the application and all settings changes to it and its stack are taken to the next level and once ready for deployment to production everything has been tested.
