It refers to the practice of regularly merging code changes into a shared repository, followed by automatically running unit and integration tests to verify the code integrity.
Extend CI by automating the delivery of tested code to production or pre-production environments. This involves automating additional tests, such as acceptance testing and performance testing, followed by automated deployment to production environments.
It allows for early detection and correction of errors in the development cycle, leading to a faster and more efficient development cycle.
Test automation ensures that the delivered code is of high quality and free of errors, improving customer satisfaction and confidence in the product.
Automated continuous delivery ensures that software updates are consistently and reliably deployed in production environments, reducing the risk of human errors.
Facilitates collaboration between development, testing, and operations teams by providing a transparent and automated process for software development and deployment.
