A CI/CD pipeline is an automated process that helps software teams deliver code faster and with fewer errors. CI (Continuous Integration) means developers regularly add their code to a shared place, and every time they do, the system automatically builds and tests the code to catch problems early. CD (Continuous Delivery) means that after the tests pass, the system automatically prepares the code for release by setting up everything needed to deploy it. Together, CI/CD creates a smooth, reliable flow where new code is checked, tested, and made ready for deployment without manual work, leading to faster releases and better-quality software (Anastasov Marko, 2025).
