Build & Test (BT):- Integration Testing vs. E2E Testing

Clearly distinguish between Integration Testing and End-to-End (E2E) Testing. Provide a unique example test case that would be appropriate for each type within the context of an online booking system.

Build & Test (BT):- The Importance of Fast Feedback

Explain the core DevOps principle of Fast Feedback. Detail how a poorly designed, slow-running CI pipeline (e.g., taking 60 minutes) directly violates this principle and negatively impacts developer productivity and motivation.

Build & Test (BT):- Building Reusable Pipeline Templates

Outline a strategy for creating reusable CI/CD Pipeline Templates for an organization with 10 similar microservices (e.g., all Java-based). Detail the benefits of using templates for consistency, security, and maintenance overhead.

Build & Test (BT):- Test Environment Isolation

Explain the necessity of Test Environment Isolation (e.g., separate databases, network segmentation) for parallel CI pipeline runs. Describe a scenario where lack of isolation would lead to test flakiness and unreliable results.

Build & Test (BT):- Pre-Production Staging Environment

Define the ideal purpose and configuration of a Staging Environment in the CD pipeline. Detail two ways the Staging environment should exactly mirror the Production environment (e.g., load balancer configuration) and one area where it can safely differ.

Build & Test (BT):- End-to-End Test Environment Provisioning

Outline a plan to automate the ephemeral provisioning of a temporary End-to-End Test Environment using IaC (e.g., Terraform/CloudFormation). This environment should be provisioned before the test run and automatically torn down immediately after completion to save costs.

Build & Test (BT):- Performance Testing vs. Load Testing

Distinguish clearly between Performance Testing and Load Testing. Provide an example objective for each type of test when assessing a newly developed microservice.

Build & Test (BT):- Managing External Dependencies

Outline a strategy for ensuring the continuous availability and performance of External Dependencies (e.g., third-party APIs) during testing. Detail the use of mocking or service virtualization to isolate tests from external failures.

Build & Test (BT):- Test Pyramid Strategy

Explain the concept of the Test Pyramid (Unit, Integration, E2E). Detail the recommended distribution of tests (e.g., 70% Unit) and justify why Unit Tests should form the base of the pyramid in a fast-moving DevOps environment.

Build & Test (BT):- Parallel Testing Implementation

Design a strategy for running 500 unit tests in parallel across 5 build agents to reduce pipeline time. Specify the tool (e.g., Jenkins pipeline, GitHub Actions matrix) and the key configuration required to split the test execution effectively.

Build & Test (BT):- Designing a Basic CI Pipeline Structure

Design a CI pipeline (using stages like Checkout, Build, Unit Test, Security Scan) for a Java application. Specify the exit condition (success/failure) for each stage and what happens to the pipeline execution if the 'Unit Test' stage fails.

View Details
Build & Test (BT):- Pipeline Orchestration

Describe a complex CI/CD pipeline that uses multiple tools (e.g., Jenkins for CI, Spinnaker for CD). Explain the necessity of a central Orchestrator and how it manages the handoff of artifacts and execution status between the disparate systems.
