Test your code as it would go to production environment. Do not skip any test; be focused and give as much commitment as you can.

Each developer works in their own way, and in a team that is composed of several developers, coding, using different third-party tools, preparing the environment, and deploying the application can all be done in different ways. This can lead to heterogeneous environments across the entire development infrastructure with a lot of distinct scenarios and issues to address and solve. OpenShift helps developers to rely on standard tools, standard environments, and standard deployment processes.

One of the most appreciated features of OpenShift is the so-called source-to-image (S2I), which automatically builds an application from source and creates a container image that can be shipped easily and quickly without issues.

Of course, OpenShift provides the features to ship your own container images—you can create a Docker file, build the image, and push it to the OpenShift registry.

OpenShift application life cycle management provides consistency from the development to the  production environment, with built-in pipelines improving continuous integration and continuous delivery and deployment.

Teams can choose from standard tools such as Jenkins, GitLab, GitLab-CI, Nexus, and more to integrate them with OpenShift.

New projects can be created based on the technology of choice, by using standard templates or by creating new ones, either based on JSON or YAML files. By standardizing tools and life cycle management, a simple Git push in S2I can trigger the building of an application and then deploy it directly in the environment of choice.
