The CI/CD pipeline can be triggered by version control system actions such as saving a new change as a commit. Before the changes are accepted by the version control system, they should go through a testing process to ensure they will not adversely affect the current code base. This process of testing and version control integration is an important part of the CI process where practices are divided into a version control perspective and a testing perspective.
