Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) with Python Training Course

Agile Software Testing involves a set of testing practices that deliver timely and ongoing feedback on software quality issues, adhering to the principles of agile development.

Continuous Integration (CI) entails developers within a team merging their work multiple times throughout the day.

This instructor-led live training in Botswana (online or onsite) is designed for developers who wish to learn and apply the basics of Continuous Integration for Java.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Learn and understand CI for a Java project.
• Build a CI system for Java.

This instructor-led, live training in Botswana covers the concepts, tools and techniques needed to carry out continuous integration of your software projects in an Agile environment. Participants carry out a series of hands-on exercises throughout the course to apply their knowledge in real situations. Interaction among instructor and participants is encouraged. Real-world cases are discussed and specific issues and questions are addressed and resolved in class.

This instructor-led live training in Botswana (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to use Jenkins 2 to build pipelines that automate the process of moving an application from development to production.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Jenkins 2.
• Adopt a script approach to automating every step of the software deployment process.
• Automatically generate application builds when software is checked into a version control system.
• Automatically kick off the compiling, testing, and packaging of a software application.
• Quickly respond to notifications and reports when things go wrong.
• Install additional plugins to extend Jenkins.

This instructor-led, live training in Botswana (online or onsite) covers advanced Jenkins configurations, security, and scaling techniques, and is aimed at DevOps engineers and software architects who wish to gain expertise in customizing Jenkins for complex software projects.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Optimize Jenkins for enterprise-level software projects.
• Implement advanced security measures.
• Build complex and scalable pipelines.
• Troubleshoot and maintain Jenkins installations effectively.

Once developers have completed writing code, they typically integrate it into an application, copy the application to a folder, run the installer, and initialise the application to verify it functions as expected. This manual method does not scale well, is tedious, highly prone to errors, and lacks a mechanism for tracking changes during the process.

A superior approach involves automating this workflow through Continuous Integration. Continuous Integration encompasses the processes, tools, and infrastructure required to automate the building, deployment, and testing of software applications.

In this instructor-led, live training (available onsite or remotely), participants will learn how to transform a traditional, manual (or semi-manual) software deployment approach into an agile, Continuous Integration (CI) model using Jenkins. Participants engage in a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises throughout the course, applying their new knowledge to various software development and deployment challenges at every step. Interaction between the instructor and participants is encouraged. Real-world case studies are discussed, and specific issues and questions are addressed and resolved throughout the training. The training is particularly focused on .Net application development.
 
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Jenkins for .Net application development
• Use Jenkins to automate the process of checking in and merging .Net source code into a code repository
• Use Jenkins to automate the process of downloading, compiling, and deploying an application to a release server
• Integrate Jenkins with other software development tools such as issue trackers and

Audience

• .Net developers
• Build engineers
• QA engineers
• Project managers
• Release managers
• DevOps engineers

Format of the Course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
