Understanding Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
In software development, the combination of continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) practices with test-driven development (TDD) has proven to be a powerful combination for delivering high-quality software at a rapid pace. Continuous integration (CI) and TDD work in synergy to automate the software development cycle, promote a culture of testing, and enable teams to build and deploy code iteratively and with confidence.
CI/CD covers a series of automated steps that streamline the software delivery pipeline, from code changes made by developers to the deployment of these changes in production. By implementing CI/CD practices, development teams can reduce manual errors, improve collaboration between team members, increase delivery speed, and improve overall software quality.
In this chapter, we’ll explore the fundamental concepts of CI/CD, explore the benefits of adopting these practices, discuss...
