Master Salesforce CI/CD with Azure DevOps

Upon completing this course, students will be adept in the Salesforce development environment, learning to navigate the strategic tooling landscape and understanding the role of various version control systems for optimal workflow. They will acquire hands-on setup experience with Azure DevOps, enabling them to execute package.xml based deployments and manage branching strategies such as scaled trunk-based development and GitFlow.

Learners will compare and craft branching strategies to suit project needs, authenticate CI/CD tools with Salesforce for streamlined operations, and generate necessary security certificates using OpenSSL. This knowledge will empower them to create and configure connected Salesforce apps effectively.

The course will also equip students with skills for conducting static code analysis and scripting YAML pipelines, ensuring they can maintain high code quality and automate build and deployment processes. Finally, a live pipeline run demonstration will consolidate their understanding, giving them confidence in applying these CI/CD practices to real-world Salesforce development projects using Azure DevOps
