The article critiques the practice of enforcing unit‑test coverage as a strict quality gate, explains why both overall and incremental coverage thresholds can be gamed, and proposes showing incremental coverage in merge requests while improving overall coverage through broader engineering processes.
The article explains the core concept of deployment pipelines in Continuous Delivery 2.0, outlines essential quality‑gate mechanisms, and details five design principles—build once, loose coupling, parallelization, fast feedback, and important feedback—plus team collaboration disciplines such as immediate pause and security audit.
This article explains what a deployment pipeline is, outlines design principles for keeping pipelines simple and efficient, describes how pipeline design relates to branch strategies, and provides detailed naming conventions and label rules for different pipeline types, triggers, and quality‑gate metrics.
