The correct answer is A. Both automated test cases for CT-CIT and ST-AT can act as quality gates. In a CI/CD pipeline, automated tests at all levels (CT, CIT, ST, AT) can act as quality gates. If CT- CIT tests fail, the build phase is blocked. If ST-AT tests fail, the deployment phase or subsequent promotion is blocked. Both sets of automated tests contribute to ensuring…
Question
A CI/CD pipeline consists of two phases: “build” and “deployment”. The “build” phase, among other activities, runs automated test cases at the following test levels: Component Testing (CT) and Component Integration Testing (CIT). If the “build” phase is successful, the “deployment” phase is started. The “deployment” phase first provisions the test environment infrastructure needed to deploy the SUT, then deploys the SUT to this environment, and finally triggers another separate pipeline that runs automated test cases at the following test levels: System Testing (ST) and Acceptance Testing (AT). Which of the following statements is TRUE?
Options
- ABoth automated test cases for CT-CIT and ST-AT can act as quality gates
- BAutomated test cases for CT-CIT can act as quality gates, while automated test cases for ST-AT
- CAutomated test cases for CT-CIT cannot act as quality gates, while automated test cases for ST-
- DNeither automated test cases for CT-CIT nor automated test cases for ST-AT can act as quality

Explanation
In a CI/CD pipeline, automated tests at all levels (CT, CIT, ST, AT) can act as quality gates. If CT- CIT tests fail, the build phase is blocked. If ST-AT tests fail, the deployment phase or subsequent promotion is blocked. Both sets of automated tests contribute to ensuring quality before progressing further in the pipeline.
