3. Overview Empty application to Continuous Delivery
Along the way we will talk about:
The core technology choices we made
Dealing with data & data migration
Keeping the quality high
Application lifecycle challenges
Automated Build, Testing & Deployment
Transitioning to operations

4. Choosing our Application Platform
Windows Private or Public Cloud
Microsoft offers the best of both
For our application
Windows Azure
Windows Azure WebSite, Cloud Service or IaaS
Three great platform options
Windows Azure WebSite

5. Application Stack
ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET WebForms, ASMX, WCF, MVC Rest or WebApi
Lots and Lots of Choices
For our application
ASP.NET MVC4 and WebApi

8. Data Deployment & Migration
Sql Server Data Tools
Deployed using DACPAC’s
Very powerful
Entity Framework Migrations
Modeled around Up/Down scripts
Tools & FX help author & maintain them
Limitations with what they can do, but works great with code first
For our application

10. Unit Testing with Visual Studio 2012
Effective unit testing is one of the biggest contributors to high quality software
Use the framework you want to use
MSTest, Nunit, xUnit and Others.
For our application
Any of the above!
Here we are using xUnit and the fakes framework

11. High quality means a good architecture
Factor out external dependencies and isolate with interfaces
Use good patterns like
Default Implementation
Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control
Isolate your code for better testing
Fakes, Moq, others
Visual Studio 2012 Stubs and Mocks
Provide easy to use, concrete implementations for your testing
Generated at compile time (runs fast)
Uses C# language features (no special API)

16. Keys to Continuous Delivery
Iterate, Iterate, Iterate
Plan iteratively
Develop iteratively
Test iteratively
Quality is Job 1
Test Constantly
Engineering teams should be responsible for ensuring the code does what they say it does
QA Teams should be responsible for ensuring the system does that the customer wants
Design and Implementation
Just enough design
Incremental and evolutionary
Use tests to drive the design
