Summary

Now, it’s time to wrap up this chapter. First, you learned what the terms workflow automation, continuous integration, and continuous delivery mean and which of them work for app development. Then, you considered a development process you can use in large-scale projects.

Next, you learned how to support this process through workflow automation with simple workflow automation tools such as GitHub Actions. Finally, you learned about specialized workflow automation tools such as Bitrise so that you can build, sign, and deploy your iOS and Android apps.

One topic that is especially important when it comes to workflow automation was left out in this chapter – testing. Automated testing is important during the development phase, as well as before shipping your releases. Therefore, we’ll have a detailed look at automated testing in the next chapter.
