Abstract

Software application development teams utilize the process of continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD), commonly known as CI/CD, to deliver code changes more regularly and reliably. Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery incorporates a culture, operating principles, and a set of practices that assist the software development teams to produce a highly valued and good quality software application. CI/CD is a best practice in agile process models such as SCRUM and also supports devops teams that aim to speed up the software delivery. CI/CD enables software development teams to concentrate on satisfying business goals while assuring code quality and software security by automating the integration and delivery process.
