How are test benches deployed?

Question

System administration

For example, there is a production/development url for testing.
For example, there is a branch - feature-6, do you need to run tests on it or do manual testing?
How do you raise the stand? by url feature-8.dev.site.ru? How is it usually done?

Answer 1

Two environments - combat and test. In Jenkins 2 jobs: one deploys to production, the other - the desired branch for the test. Urls can be assigned automatically only through dyndns on your DNS server, because it will take a long time to inflate to the root DNS server of the zone.

Answer 2

For example, we raise a stand, giving a unique name to the directory in which we post the site. Directory, for example, ${HTMLROOT}/test/feature-6, URL, respectively, dev.site.ru/test/feature-6 We set
the name of the branch as a parameter and use it when checking out from the repository (the field is called, surprise, surprise, Branches to build) and when uploading to the server.
