Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery

Acronym : CI/CD

CI/CD refers to the automation of build, test and deployment steps, enabling changes to be shipped to production frequently and reliably.

Why it matters

Without CI/CD, every release becomes a risky manual event; with it, errors are caught early and releases become a routine, low-risk operation.

Concrete example

Every code change automatically triggers the test suite, and if everything passes, deployment to production happens without manual intervention.
