Components
- Continuous Integration (CI): Developers merge code changes frequently, triggering automated builds and tests to catch errors early.
- Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD): Automatically preparing or deploying the tested code to staging or production environments.
Benefits
- Faster release cycles.
- Higher code quality through automated testing.
- Reduced manual errors in deployment.
