The document details CI/CD pipelines in software development, explaining continuous integration (CI) as the process of merging code changes into a shared repository for automated testing, while continuous delivery (CD) automates the deployment process. Key stages of a CI/CD pipeline include source control integration, build automation, automated testing, and deployment, offering benefits such as faster time-to-market and reduced risks. Best practices for implementation emphasize automation, clean version control, and maintaining a fast feedback loop.

CI/CD Pipelines
In Software
Development
Continuous Integration (CI):
Integration of code changes into a shared repository triggers
automated builds and tests.
Ensures early detection of bugs and conflicts in code.
Continuous Delivery (CD):
Automates the deployment process to maintain a constantly
deployable state of code changes.
Enables frequent and reliable software releases.
