Software Development Automation | Guide
Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) involve the creation of a pipeline that automates building, testing and deployment of software across staged environments. The most sophisticated CI/CD process helps integrate, test and deploy new software functionality within 2-3 hours.
Continuous integration (CI) focuses on the principle of a shared repository, where code is frequently updated and shared across teams that work in the cloud environments. CI allows developers to work together on the same code at the same time. The changes in the code are directly integrated and ready to be fully tested in different test environments.
The ultimate goal of continuous delivery or deployment (CD) is to bring software to production in a fully automated way.
The duration of the CI/CD system implementation depends on several factors:
- Development project size.
- Requirements for code integration.
- Requirements for delivery of deployable components.
At ScienceSoft, we generally need 3-5 weeks to develop an efficient CI/CD process for a middle-size software development project with several microservices, an API layer and a front-end part.
