VerifiedContinuous Integration Techniques

Universal Containers (UC) is building a custom Lightning Platform application. The following development tools are in use: the Force.com IDE for application development, Git and a Git repository for source control, and the Force.com Migration Tool to update sandboxes from source control.

UC’s current branching strategy uses two main branches:

  1. Master
  2. Develop

It also uses three supporting branches:

  1. Feature
  2. Release
  3. Hotfix

Assume the branching strategy runs in parallel as follows:

Feature | Develop | Release | Hotfix | Master

What recommended development-practice strategy should Developers use?

Explanation

In the Gitflow workflow, each feature branch is created from the Develop branch, which is the integration branch for ongoing development. After the feature is complete, it is merged back into Develop. Master is reserved for production-ready releases, while Release and Hotfix branches serve release preparation and urgent production fixes.
