Describe the software update process in your last project.

In my last project, the software update process followed this scenario:

1. Requirements gathering and update planning.
2. Creating a branch in the version control system for the new version.
3. Developing and testing new features and fixes.
4. Conducting automated and manual testing.
5. Preparing release artifacts (e.g., jar files).
6. Deploying the update to a test environment to check integration.
7. After successful testing, rolling out the update to production with minimal downtime.

Example script for build and deployment on Jenkins:

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                sh './gradlew clean build'
            }
        }
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                sh './gradlew test'
            }
        }
        stage('Deploy') {
            steps {
                sh 'scp build/libs/app.jar user@server:/opt/app/'
                sh 'ssh user@server systemctl restart app'
            }
        }
    }
}

This approach helps minimize risks and ensures the stability of the application.
