A stable CI/CD pipeline requires a repository management tool that acts as a version control system; so that developers can keep track of changes in the software build.
In the version control system, developers can also collaborate on a project, compare between versions and undo any mistakes they make, thus mitigate disruption to all team members.
Continuous testing and automated testing are two of the most pivotal keys to successfully establish a seamless CI/CD pipeline. Automated testing must be integrated into all product development phases (including unit, integration, and system testing) to cover all functionalities such as performance, usability, performance, load, stress, and security.
