An organization has developed an application that needs a patch to fix a critical vulnerability. In which of the following environments should the patch be deployed LAST?
Patch fix is done in development environment then it goes through the testing and staging environments for more testing. Once the patch fix is validated and fixed it gets released to production.
Correct me if wrong but the way I understand this is that the app needs the patch... since the app is still in development enviroment then the pach will be last deployed in the development enviroment?!again might be wrong ,a bit confusing
A. Test
The patch should be deployed in the test environment last. Before deploying any updates or patches to the production environment, it is crucial to test them in a controlled environment, such as the test environment. Testing helps ensure that the patch does not introduce new issues or conflicts with existing configurations. Once the patch has been successfully tested, it can be deployed to the production environment.
The question says... "should be deployed LAST?" That is, "Production" environment.
Not the first environment to be patched, which in that case would be "Test" environment.
Question being asked is: which environment should get the update (as a last resort)??
Software development has multiple environments. Development is the first environment where you write your code. The order of the environment use should be: Development → Testing → Staging → Production. Production is the last environment where you would deploy your application. If you need to deploy a patch, it would still be the last environment where you would deploy the patch.
In a typical software development lifecycle, patches or updates are first applied in development, then tested in the test environment, and finally moved to staging for further validation. Production is the last environment where updates are applied to ensure that they are stable and won't cause disruptions to live services
Answer B
A staging environment is very similar to a production environment, but it is used for testing purposes before the application is launched in production.
This environment tries to simulate as much as possible the final production environment, so tests in staging are more accurate than tests done in development.
The staging environment should have the same server configuration, database, caching system, and so on, that will be used in production. This way, you can find and fix potential problems before the application goes live.https://livecodestream.dev/post/development-testing-staging-production-whats-the-difference/#what-is-a-staging-environment
goodmate, LAST means LAST, not one before last. It is production my friend. Staging is NOT last..it resembles prod but it is NOT LAST...production is last.
Dev-Testing-Staging-Prod.....So, the correct order for deploying a patch is Development, Test, Staging, and Production. Therefore, the patch should be deployed LAST in the Production environment.
The correct answer is:
D. Production
In a typical software development lifecycle, patches or updates are first applied in development, then tested in the test environment, and finally moved to staging for further validation. Production is the last environment where updates are applied to ensure that they are stable and won't cause disruptions to live services.
A. Test
Deploying patches should always start with the testing environment before deployment to the production environment. Testing provides an opportunity to evaluate the impact of the patch on the intended systems and also ensures that the patch is working as intended. The testing environment should replicate the production environment as closely as possible, including hardware and software configurations, network topology, and any other relevant factors that may affect the application's functionality. Once the patch has been successfully tested, it can be deployed to the staging and production environments following established change control procedures.
rephrasing the question, is like where would you last apply a patch...... you will not apply a patch on the development stage right? you can apply a patch during staging, you can apply a patch during testing and or during production.... but you will most likely will not apply a patch during development! this is the last thing you would do!
