Which of the following is not one of the four activities of continuous deployment?

Question

Options

• Atest
• Brespond
• Cdeploy
• DVerify

• A
  91% (43)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

"Test" (A) is the correct answer because testing is an activity associated with continuous integration (CI), not continuous deployment (CD). Testing validates code before it enters the deployment pipeline, making it a pre-deployment concern.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B. Respond - is a core CD activity: teams must respond to issues or alerts that arise after deployment.
• C. Deploy - is the most central CD activity: automatically releasing verified builds to production.
• D. Verify - is a core CD activity: confirming the deployed release behaves correctly in the target environment.

Memory tip: Think of CD's four activities as a post-commit cycle - Deploy → Verify → Monitor → Respond. If something involves code quality checks or automated tests, that belongs to CI (before deployment), not CD (after deployment). The phrase "Don't Test in the CD lane" can help you remember this boundary.
