We have a main branch (master), and a request for implementing a new feature has been received from a developer. What actions will you take next?

  1. Creating a new branch. A new branch is created from the main master branch for developing a new feature. The branch name should be informative, for example, feature/new-function-name.
  2. Development and testing. The developer writes code in the new branch, regularly committing changes. Modular and integration tests are conducted.
  3. Local testing. The developer runs the application locally with the new feature to verify its functionality.
  4. Creating a Merge Request (or Pull Request). After completing work and successful local testing, the developer creates an MR/PR from their branch to master.
  5. Code Review. Other team members review the code in the MR/PR. They leave comments, suggest improvements or fixes.
  6. Fixing based on review results. The developer makes necessary changes to their branch based on review comments.
  7. CI/CD pipeline. An automated CI/CD pipeline runs on each commit to the MR/PR branch. The pipeline includes:
    • Building the project.
    • Running Unit/Integration tests.
    • Static code analysis (linters, SAST).
    • Vulnerability scanning (SAST, SCA).
    • Building a Docker image (if applicable).
    • Deploying to a test environment (if available).
  8. Acceptance Testing. After all pipeline stages and Code Review are successfully completed, acceptance testing of the feature is conducted in a test/staging environment (possibly manually by the Product Owner/QA).
  9. Merging the branch. If all tests pass, Code Review is approved, and acceptance testing is successful, the branch with the new feature is merged into master. Usually, merge strategies like "Squash and Merge" or "Rebase and Merge" are used for a cleaner commit history.
  10. Deployment to Production. After merging into master, a pipeline is triggered to deploy the updated version to production. This may include additional tests (e.g., E2E) and approval stages.
  11. Monitoring. After successful deployment, the operation of the new feature in Production is monitored to identify potential issues.
