Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, method, and computer program product embodiments for testing software in a continuous deployment pipeline. An embodiment operates by automatically deploying a second version of an application at an idle endpoint. The embodiment further operates by automatically testing the second version of the application by reusing test metrics associated with a first version of the application that is live at a live endpoint. The embodiment further operates by automatically determining whether the automatic testing of the second version of the application is successful and, if so, automatically setting live the second version of the application. For example, the embodiment can operate by automatically exchanging the live endpoint with the idle endpoint to set live the second version and set idle the first version, which then may be placed in termination.
