Setup desktop (start)
This is the setup desktop tasks that is performed by the developers, though others that are updating code including documentation can also perform the setup.
This task is expected to be done only once for a desktop environment, and the environment can be used for multiple projects and deliveries.
Software installation
Please ensure the following tools or equivalents are installed or you have access to servers with the associated capabilities.
- A Git repository server - Github, Gitea
- Rights to create a Git repo and push content to the remote Git repo
- Git installed on local desktop
- Integrated development environment (IDE) software on local desktop - Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ
- Access to an OpenAPI editor - ApiCurio, Swagger UI
- Installed qaskx-cli tool on local desktop - download from TBA
- Access to a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) - ServiceNow, Zenoss
- Access to an API registry portal - Apiman.io, Redocly
The server based software above could be executed as docker images on your local desktop, but this would be only for demonstration purposes.
End Status of flow
At the end of the above setup steps the desktop will have the base tools that are mentioned in subsequent documents, and you will have access to the server features.
The next step in the process is covered in project_start
Reading Notes
The suggested tools are only that, suggestions. You can substitute your own preferred tools as appropriate. The concept is still valid and your mileage may vary.
