continuous integration & continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline is a series of steps to deliver a new version of the software. We suggest implementing CI/CD pipelines to improve software delivery throughout the software development life cycle via automation. By automating CI/CD throughout the development, testing, production, and monitoring phases of the software development lifecycle, we are able to develop faster however, it’s very much possible to manually execute each of the steps of a CI/CD pipeline. The aim is to minimize human error and maintain a consistent process for how software is released. There are automation tools that are included in the pipeline which include compiling code, unit tests, code analysis, security & binaries creation.
Stages of a CI/CD Pipeline
First Source Stage – In the source stage, CI/CD pipeline is triggered by a code repository. Any change in the program triggers a notification to the CI/CD tool that runs an equivalent pipeline. Second Build Stage – In this stage, via CI/CD Pipeline you can merge the source code and its dependencies. It is done mainly to build a runnable instance of software that you can potentially ship to the end user. Third Test Stage – The test Stage includes the execution of automated tests to validate the correctness of the code and the behaviour of the software. This stage prevents easily reproducible bugs from reaching the clients. Fourth Deploy Stage – This is the last stage where your product goes live. Once the build has successfully passed through all the required test scenarios, it is ready to deploy to the live server.
