Integrating Tests into CI/CD
Configure CI/CD pipelines to automatically run unit, integration, and E2E tests on every code commit.
CI/CD & Automated Testing
Welcome to integrating tests into CI/CD! CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment. It's a software development practice where code changes are automatically built, tested, and deployed.
Automated testing is the backbone of a successful CI/CD pipeline. It provides fast feedback and ensures quality throughout the development process.
The CI/CD Pipeline Stages
A typical CI/CD pipeline involves several stages, often triggered by a code commit:
- Build: Compiling source code into an executable artifact.
- Test: Running automated tests (unit, integration, E2E) against the built artifact.
- Deploy: Releasing the artifact to various environments (staging, production).
The 'Test' stage is critical for catching issues early.
