Exam Development-Lifecycle-and-Deployment-Architect Topic 2 Question 173 Discussion

Develop, Build Release, and Test are three steps that apply to any Salesforce development project, regardless of the size, complexity, or methodology. Develop is the step where the developers create the code and configuration components that meet the requirements and specifications. Build Release is the step where the components are packaged and deployed to different environments for testing and validation. Test is the step where the components are verified and validated against the requirements and specifications, as well as the quality and performance standards. Continuous Integration and Change Sets are not steps, but tools or techniques that can be used to facilitate the development project. Continuous Integration is a technique that involves merging the code from different developers frequently and automatically, to ensure consistency and avoid conflicts. Change Sets are a tool that allows the developers to move the components from one org to another org.
