in python ,
for testing , there are options. pytest is a popular testing framework
unittest in junit of java style is another option
for linting, pylint is widely used for checking the python code against coding standards and
conventions.
although not a linting tool, but Black is a popular code formatter that automatically reformats
the code to adhere to standards.
while python apps dont have a build steps necessarily, for building a package i'd say pip (?)
Gitlab CI/CD
Azure pipeline
Travis CI
Circle CI
..
as mentioned in material , for the small to medium projects the better option would be
a cloud-hosted solution (github actions here), however this was the only option i had
as i don't have the physical server at my disposal at the time of doing this to have a
self-hosted server, and even if i did, the configuration of Jenkins was'nt the thing i
would have do. too much work where in github actions everything is ready.
However, there are so many things to consider , and both self-hosted and cloud-hosted
solutions got their advantages and disadvantages, but because of lack of infrastructure
and the knowledge to configure a self-hosted automation server, the right better option
is the cloud-hosted.
