FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code review and testing before merging a feature branch?

Automated code review and testing before merging is handled by running a shipping pipeline that enforces quality gates, audits EARS requirements, and performs reviewer checks before committing code to the main branch.

What is the best way to automate release management and changelog generation?

Automating release management and changelog generation is best achieved by using a release shipping mode that facilitates starting new releases, generating changelogs automatically, and tagging versions for streamlined project lifecycle management.

Can I use automated quality gates to enforce EARS requirements during CI/CD?

Yes, you can enforce EARS requirements during CI/CD by running an automated quality gate pipeline that audits requirements, runs tests, and performs code reviews before allowing code to commit and merge.

How do I manage different deployment pipelines for fast shipping versus full releases?

Managing different deployment pipelines is done by adapting to fast, feature, or release shipping modes based on your project status and branch, ensuring the correct automated tests and merges apply to each context.

Does automated backlog pruning work with release versioning and deployment?

Yes, automated backlog pruning works directly with release versioning and deployment by streamlining the project lifecycle, updating the backlog automatically as features pass quality gates and merge into tagged releases.
