Azure DevOps is a suite of cloud-based collaboration tools developed by Microsoft. It provides a set of services for software development, including version control (with Git repositories), continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), project management, automated testing, and more. Azure DevOps helps development teams to plan, build, test, deploy, and monitor applications efficiently and collaboratively. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Azure, but it can also be used with other cloud platforms and on-premises environments. The main components of Azure DevOps include:
- Azure Repos: Git repositories for version control of your code.
- Azure Pipelines: CI/CD service for automating builds, tests, and deployments.
- Azure Boards: Agile planning tools for managing your software projects.
- Azure Test Plans: Testing tools for manual and exploratory testing.
- Azure Artifacts: Package management service to store and share artifacts like packages, binaries, and container images.
Azure DevOps enables teams to work together effectively, streamline their development processes, and deliver high-quality software products faster
