Copado Certified Practice Exam

What happens when the Ready to Promote checkbox is clicked?

1. The deployment record is created.

2. The feature branch is automatically merged.

3. QA tests are initiated.

4. Changes are pushed to production.

The correct answer is: The deployment record is created.

The correct answer is that when the Ready to Promote checkbox is clicked, the deployment record is created. This action is a crucial step in the deployment process within Copado. By enabling this checkbox, you indicate that the changes in the feature branch are ready to be reviewed and potentially deployed to the target environment. Creating a deployment record serves as a documentation and tracking mechanism, ensuring that there is a clear record of what changes are set to be deployed and under what circumstances. This record not only facilitates organization but also helps in maintaining a structured deployment workflow when managing multiple changes across different environments. The other options represent different stages or actions that occur either prior to or following the creation of the deployment record, but they do not occur as a direct result of clicking the Ready to Promote checkbox. For example, merging and pushing changes to production are subsequent steps that take place after the deployment record is established, ensuring that everything is in order and ready for the deployment process. Similarly, QA tests may be initiated at a different point in the workflow, often linked to the promotion or deployment process rather than immediately upon checking the readiness box.
