CI/CD staat voor Continuous Integration en Continuous Delivery/Deployment — praktijken die het bouwen, testen en implementeren van software automatiseren. Het doel is om wijzigingen frequent, betrouwbaar en snel uit te brengen, waarbij automatisering handmatige, foutgevoelige processen vervangt.
CI — Continuous Integration
CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION: developers frequently merge code into a shared branch, and each
change is AUTOMATICALLY built and tested:
→ on every push/PR: build the code + run tests (automatically)
→ catch integration problems and bugs EARLY (immediately, not weeks later)
→ keep the main branch in a working state
→ Frequent integration + automated verification = fewer, smaller, easier-to-fix problems.
