Final answer:
The statement that is NOT true about the Promote and Deploy Checkbox is that it is automatically checked when a User Story is created. The checkbox indicates readiness for promotion and marks for deployment, but does not trigger deployment automatically, and it is manually managed to ensure the proper flow of changes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which statement is NOT true about the Promote and Deploy Checkbox. Let's address each option in turn.
a. The checkbox does indicate whether a User Story is ready to be promoted. This is a true statement as it signifies the readiness of a User Story for the next stage in the development process.
b. It also is involved in the deployment process but it does not trigger the deployment automatically. Instead, it typically marks the User Story for deployment, after which a deployment process must be manually initiated or carried through a separate automated process.
c. This is the statement that is NOT true; the checkbox is not automatically checked when a User Story is created. Normally, the status of a User Story progresses through various stages manually, ensuring that only completed and vetted User Stories are promoted and deployed.
d. It does indeed help manage the flow of changes between environments by indicating the status of the User Story as it moves through the various stages of the development lifecycle.
