Updating an Environment​

Our system tests every commit automatically. There are two steps in this process:

  1. Test Custom Code - The system tests the changed modules in an isolated environment. If it fails it reverts to the last working commit.
  2. Update Modules - If the manifest version of the module has been increased, the system automatically updates it.
