Testing and CI/CD for ERP Code Deployments Training Course

Testing and CI/CD for ERP Code Deployments Training Course 

Introduction

Testing and CI/CD for ERP Code Deployments Training Course is designed to empower software professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary for implementing continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automated testing in ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system environments. With the growing need for faster and more reliable ERP code deployments, this course emphasizes the critical role of test automation, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps practices in ensuring the seamless and consistent delivery of software. Participants will gain hands-on experience in managing complex ERP system updates, ensuring minimal downtime, and maintaining high software quality throughout the development lifecycle.

As ERP systems become more intricate, it is crucial for organizations to adapt modern practices such as automated testing frameworks, cloud-native deployments, and version control in their ERP code deployment workflows. This course offers an in-depth exploration of key tools and techniques used in the ERP development lifecycle, covering Jenkins, Git, Docker, and Kubernetes, among others. By the end of this training, professionals will be able to set up automated testing environments, deploy CI/CD pipelines, and ensure robust integration testing across ERP platforms like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics.
