Deployment  In Salesforce 

Deployment is a process for making changes or moving API components from one organization to another organization, after completion of logic which we are developing for the business process by a configuration or customization process and unit test for classes and triggers. For deploying Component, production needs at least 75% of your Apex code coverage from your unit test.

The Following Steps must follow for deployment:

  • Announce a maintenance window before you start.
  • Stop all setup changes on production.
  • Create a staging environment.
  • Migrate changes to the staging environment.
  • Change environmental dependencies and services from testing settings to production values.
  • Lock users out of the application.
  • Test deploy.
  • Deploy to production.
  • Unlock the production organization

There are many ways for Deployment:

A. Standard Salesforce feature changesets

(When two organization Connected with each other )

--> Only possible between SandBox and Production environment.

B.Using the Apache Ant Migration tool

(When two organization don't Connect each other )

--> Possible in every Environment.

C. Force.com Eclipse Editor.

D. Package.

A package is a container of various Salesforce components and elements. It is used to transfer these elements from one Salesforce organization to another.

    Correction

    Change sets can be done between sandbox-to-sandbox as well, granted they related to the same production org.

    "You can upload a change set from one sandbox to another sandbox, or from sandbox to production, and vice versa."
