Manually building business applications is a laborious task that compromises code quality. Without the development team cohesion and support it can be hard to see the project clearly; continuous integration process will keep high-quality code consistent while quick delivery and deployment accelerate time to market.
Constant integration requires a centralized system with reporting, business requirement management, project management and automated build features to function successfully. Establishing and sustaining such an integration process as well as adapting its culture is often challenging - our DevOps team assists businesses with this by using Azure pipelines, Cloud collaborative tools like Visual Studio Team Services as well as in-depth assessments that cover implementation strategies of Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment strategies.

-
Speed and Productivity
Continuous deployment gives customers faster access to new features and fixes bugs faster, while providing developers with immediate user feedback on any modifications made.
-
Reducing Mean Time To Resolution
Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment practices have reduced mean time to resolution due to smaller batches of code being deployed quickly for fault isolation purposes.
-
Testability
As code repositories are only deployed in small batches, all changes are automatically tested ensuring a reduced bug rate.

The CI/CD Consulting Process
A Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery Consultant's primary task is to establish an ideal testing environment for production preparation, and technical support throughout any future phases of development that may take place over several years.
-
Code Writing
Each developer is then responsible for developing their assigned module's code before manually testing it before being integrated into the main branch, along with current product versions, by merging its program unit(s). When all modules have been published within it, teams move onto their next steps.
-
Assembly
Automation for assembly and continuous testing may be activated through version control systems such as Git or other continuous integration servers like Jenkins. Triggers for these builds may also be set manually or automatically, and automatic builds performed using Jenkins can further accelerate production cycles.
-
Manual Testing
Once the CI server has finished the automated tests and build process, the product is then passed over to manual testers who employ various functional testing techniques in order to detect and fix software bugs.
-
Release
Once code has been cleaned up and debugged, it should be sent out for customer review, possibly with assistance from their own experts or small groups of users. After code review by customers and experts alike, revised or approved source code is then returned for revision or approval based on these results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our diverse client roster enables us to gain a broader perspective of CI/CD than companies focusing exclusively on mid-sized clients; as a result, many challenging and intriguing open-source projects required us to customize existing systems by building new CI/CD systems based on them, given their large volume. When working on push/commits that require numerous events such as queues, triggers or other features we often create event driven systems which include waiting queues as part of these builds.
Unfortunately, tools are continually changing so we are unable to suggest one or several as solutions are always evolving. Jenkins and GitlabCI remain market leaders; however, other CI/CD tools might better suit your needs than these market leaders; more companies are adopting GitOps techniques, with newcomers such as JenkinsX or ArgoCD available now too. You should think carefully about customization needs; some TravisCI may suffice while for others Jenkins would provide more customization features; ultimately it depends on you and your company - some TravisCI will suffice while for others Jenkins would need be required in order to integrate custom logic - before choosing what tool(s).
Our favorite question when interviewing candidates for positions, we ask this one often because it enables us to assess their understanding of this practice. Essentially, Continuous Delivery occurs where there is no human intervention - think automated pipeline as opposed to one where someone manually pushes a red button at any point during deployment stage.
Continuous Deployment is another option; while automation tools will likely play an integral part, security testing process still must take place prior to making changes live for users. We do not advocate this practice but for certain systems/platforms this may be their only means for getting updates out to end-users quickly and reliably.
Surely it should be used by developers, DevOps engineers and DevOps managers. A strong Continuous Delivery/Deployment system relies heavily on its Quality Assurance team for development. Developers should maintain quality in code that they build via Continuous Integration; how you do so depends on what principles your organization employs. When we talk about Continuous Delivery/Deployment, however, QA should play an integral part ensuring new versions have more positive than negative side-effects before deploying it - whether manually or automatically; what's essential here is not expecting code developers themselves can guarantee its quality; instead professional specialists must do this manual task instead!
Automating all aspects of your system may seem impossible, and while that would certainly be ideal, if resources are tight, prioritize automating only those components with critical importance for saving QA time by automating them. Automating basic and important logic of applications/platforms may prove more cost effective for you in terms of unit testing and time savings than doing everything yourself manually.
