CICDjärjestelmän

CICDjärjestelmän, or Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) system, is a method and set of practices used in software development to automate the integration and deployment of code changes. The primary goal of a CI/CD system is to improve the efficiency, reliability, and speed of software delivery by automating repetitive tasks and reducing manual intervention.

In a CI/CD pipeline, code changes are automatically integrated into a shared repository, where automated tests are run to detect errors early in the development process. If the tests pass, the code is automatically deployed to a staging or production environment. This process ensures that code changes are continuously integrated and deployed, reducing the risk of integration issues and accelerating the release cycle.

CI/CD systems typically consist of several components, including version control systems, build tools, test automation frameworks, and deployment tools. These components work together to automate the build, test, and deployment processes, enabling developers to focus on writing code rather than managing the deployment process.

The benefits of using a CI/CD system include improved code quality, faster time to market, reduced manual errors, and increased collaboration among team members. By automating the integration and deployment process, CI/CD systems help organizations deliver high-quality software more efficiently and reliably.
