Continuous Integration and Deployment Automation
Develop apps at scale with source control and continuous integration and continuous delivery.
What is CI/CD?
Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment is a key concept of DevOps methodology. Companies that use an agile approach benefit from breaking the silos between management, development team, operations team, and QA team. It helps them cooperate, achieve common goals, and build synergies.
CI/CD transforms the collective effort into the automated process of an application build, full test coverage, and quick zero-downtime deployment.
Steps Involved In CI/CD
The three main steps in the CI/CD process:
Build
This is the stage where the application is compiled.
Test
The stage where code is tested, saving both time and effort.
Deploy
Here, the code is deployed to stage, and then production.

Benefits of CI/CD
Let’s check out the advantages of CI/CD Automation:
Accelerates Release Cycles
Accelerated Release Cycles are the speed at which the team can deliver a functional application, from the moment work begins to when it is providing value to an end user.
Detects Faults
This refers to practice of designing systems such that when an error occurs, the negative outcomes are limited in scope. Limiting the scope of problems reduces the potential for damage and makes systems easier to maintain.
Increases Transparency & Visibility
The benefits of CI/CD are not just limited to testing, but it can also help you assist your team in a better way. CI/CD encourages transparency and accountability for any problem amongst the team members.
Improves Quality & Testability
The easier it is to test something, the easier it is to determine its quality. Testability has multiple dimensions. On the inside, testability can be characterized by how controllable, observable, unbuggy, and decomposable your product is.
