Deployment Gates & Release Quality

Block releases on quality failures. 0 critical SAST, mutation > 80%, coverage > 90%.

Real-world application: Engineers who can implement deployment gates and release quality thresholds demonstrate release management expertise.

What you will learn

Implement deployment gates that block releases on quality failures
Enforce release quality thresholds: 0 critical SAST, mutation > 80%, coverage > 90%
Generate release artifacts with SBOM and audit trail
Configure release pipelines with quality gates before deployment

Introduction

Deployment Gates & Release Quality

Objective

Run the release pipeline simulator with 8 quality thresholds. Observe which thresholds pass and fail, the release status (Approved/Blocked), generated release artifacts, and the audit trail. Identify which gates blocked the release if any.

Block releases on quality failures. 0 critical SAST, mutation > 80%, coverage > 90%.
