4 Processes For Worry Free Deployments
We’ll define the Software Deployment process in a simple way. The process is:
Prepare The Resources
First step of deployment is to prepare the resources. By resources, we mean the libraries, host server, versioned code (latest code). These resources are necessary to prepare because the whole software is dependent upon them. If any of these resources do not work at the right time, your whole software would crash. We believe that coding with the latest techniques is vital to match the technology. Along with the mentioned resources, we also include the configuration files so that the software knows how to behave when it is being used.
Intensive Testing
The next step is to test the update or software on a test server. We believe you were not thinking of deploying the update or software directly to the live server. Although we have prepared all the resources properly, there is still a chance that some errors might arise. To solve this issue, testing is required. The tests can either be manual or automated. Tests ensure whether a software can resist the load or not. After the tests have been done successfully, you must take a note of all the bugs and errors that arose.
Fixing Bugs & Errors
The final step before Deployment is to fix the bugs and errors. Without fixing, it would become impossible to retain customers because no one wants to use buggy software. A major example- Cyberpunk 2077 was released a few days back. People were waiting for it for many years. Although the PC version was great, the Console version had so many bugs and errors that Sony removed the game from their Playstation store and asked CD Projekt to refund the money. So, now you can understand that if a major video game of humongous level got rejected by people, what would happen with a simple software? That is why, it is always recommended that you fix all the bugs and errors before releasing a software.
Deployment
Now comes the final step- Deployment. It is the step which is vital for a company releasing the Software. This step is the result of all the processes performed in the above section. If the above mentioned tasks are not performed properly, there is a high chance that the Deployment would fail. In this step, you have to take feedback from the users. That feedback would help to make appropriate changes and make the software function in a better way.
Conclusion
Deployment is a lengthy task. By lengthy, we don’t mean that it is a difficult task. There are 4 processes that have to be followed in order to deploy a software or update. It can also be said that Deployment is the backbone of any software. That is why, choosing an expert company like Octane Web Services is recommended to get the work done.
