What is CI/CD?
Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment
It is the process that ensures that software updates are automatically tested and released.
Overview
It is an automatic production line established to ensure that the code written by software developers reaches the user without any errors. Continuous Integration (CI) ensures that the code is constantly assembled and tested, and Continuous Deployment (CD) ensures that this code is automatically transferred to the live system.
How it works
When you submit your code to the system, the system runs automated tests first. If the tests are successful, it packages your code and prepares it for release.
Where it is used
It is used in modern software development teams, especially in applications that release updates quickly.
Commonly confused with
It may be confused with a purely manual testing process, but this is a completely automated flow.
Frequently asked questions
Why is it so important?
It prevents faulty code from going live and increases development speed.
Should it always be automatic?
Generally yes, but manual approval steps may be added for critical updates.
