I. Review Pull Requests

Please see the Wiki page for reviewing pull requests for more details.

II. Push to Dev

1. Navigate to local repo.

$ cd rSENSE

2. Pull the latest version of master.

$ git pull upstream master

3. Compile stylesheets & assets

rake assets:precompile

4. Old AWS Instructions: Switch to the dev environment.

$ eb use rsense-beanstalk-dev-env

5. Deploy.

$ eb deploy

5. If you need to run special commands, ssh into the machine.

$ eb ssh
...
$ logout

III. Testing

Everyone in the lab is a tester. The testing evaluation forms are as follows:

1. Basic tests are a standard set of procedures repeated every release.
   
2. Specific tests encompass all new changes made to the website since the last release.

IV. Post-testing

Go through testing results and make judgments on what to do next.

• Possibly create new bugs.
• Make any necessary fixes.
• Note when an issue failed testing. Determine whether this failed issue will hold back the release if it cannot be fixed on the spot. Also, remove the "In-Testing" tag from this issue.
• Close all issues marked “In-Testing” and passed testing.

V. Push to Live

1. Create a new release on GitHub here (NOTE: Do not complete this step until you are actually ready to release).
   
   
2. Click Draft a new release.
   
   
3. Enter Tag version, Release title, and a description.
   As an example,

***This release provides the following new features:***

- Official iSENSE emails now have a more official-looking design

4. Click Publish Release when finished.
   
   
5. Switch to the production environment.

6. Deploy.
