Test Azure DevOps Pipelines

This project demonstrate how Azure DevOps Pipelines can be used to;

1. [CI] build a .NET solution having a very basic ASP.NET Core MVC website
2. [CD] deploy the site to an Azure App Service with the URL:

https://testazurepipelines.azurewebsites.net/

The .NET solution DemoWebApplication.sln consist of:

1. ASP.NET Core MVC project src/DemoWebApplication
2. xUnit test project tests/DemoWebApplication.Tests

Latest CI/CD status:

Continues Integration

For this propose, in Azure DevOps a build pipeline - build.test-azure-pipelines - is configured.

This Pipeline can be executed, to build the master, release or any other branch in this repository.

And the build will:

• build the .NET solution (projects)
• publish the web content (to a folder)
• execute the unit-tests
• calculate unit-test code coverage
• create a .nupkg having the published web content
• push the .nuget package to a NuGet feed

Based on the branch that get build, i.e.:

• if {branch} = master then a Major, Minor or Hotfix package will be published to Production NuGet Feed
• if {branch} = release then a Release Candidate package will be published to Production NuGet Feed
• if {branch} = {any other} then a Preview package will be published to Development NuGet Feed

Continues Delivery

In Azure DevOps, there are two release Pipelines created to deploy the web site to the Azure App Service:

1. prd_release.test-azure-pipelines - to deploy a package from the Production NuGet Feed
2. dev_release.test-azure-pipelines - to deploy a package from the Development NuGet Feed

And deploying a release in the pipeline will deploy the .nupkg assigned to that release to the Azure App Service.
