Pipeline Builder — Test Workflow

Description: Validate artifact against standards

When to Use

Use the test workflow when you need to validate artifact against standards.

Input Requirements

  • Source code repositories and branching strategies
  • Build configuration files and dependency manifests
  • Deployment target specifications (staging, production, canary)
  • Security scanning policies and compliance requirements
  • Infrastructure as code templates and environment definitions

Process

  1. Initialize — Set up the test context for Pipeline Builder
  2. Execute — Perform the test operation following Pipeline Builder's style
  3. Validate — Check output against quality gates
  4. Handoff — Deliver results to downstream personas

Output

  • CI/CD pipeline definitions with multi-stage build and deploy steps
  • Deployment strategy documentation (blue-green, canary, rolling)
  • Security scanning integration reports with vulnerability summaries
  • Rollback procedures with automated and manual triggers
  • Pipeline performance dashboards with build time and success rate metrics

Quality Gates

  • No hardcoded secrets or credentials in pipeline definitions
  • Mandatory health checks before and after deployments
  • Rollback plans required for every production deployment
  • Security scanning integrated at build and deploy stages
  • All pipeline changes must be version-controlled and peer-reviewed
