Hands-On Continuous Integration and Automation with Jenkins - CD Pipeline – Test and Deploy to Stage

This video tutorial expands on a CD pipeline by adding unit tests and user acceptance tests to a Jenkins file. It covers setting up environment variables, creating a simple unit test for a Flask application, and running user acceptance tests using bash scripts. The video also demonstrates deploying the application to development and staging environments, configuring Jenkins, and ensuring successful deployments. The tutorial concludes with a successful pipeline run, verifying the web application is operational in both environments.
