Continuous Integration And Delivery
Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) is an approach to software development where developers frequently merge their code changes into a central repository, after which automated builds and tests are run. The main goal of CI/CD is to catch and address bugs quicker, improve software quality, and reduce the time it takes to validate and release new software updates. It is a key practice in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and Software Configuration Management, ensuring that changes are properly tested, integrated, and deployed across different environments. By implementing CI/CD, teams can minimize risks associated with software releases while maintaining a smooth development workflow.
