Release Your App to Production

Now that all your tests have passed in the Full sandbox, you’re ready to deploy to production.
  1. In your deployment run list, complete any pre-deployment tasks.
  2. Authorize your production org.
  3. Set up the quick deploy. 
    1sfdx force:mdapi:deploy --checkonly --zipfile winter19.zip --targetusername production-org \ 
2--testlevel RunSpecifiedTests MyTests

    This command returns a job ID that you reference in the quick deploy.

  4. Run the quick deploy: 
    1sfdx force:mdapi:deploy --targetusername production-org --validateddeployrequestid jobID
  5. After the tests are run, verify that all the Apex tests have passed. Be sure that the tests cover at least 75% of the code being deployed.
  6. Open the production org, then perform any post-deployment tasks listed in the deployment run list.
