Plan - Initially, there should be a plan for the type of application that needs to be developed. Getting a rough picture of the development process is always a good idea.
Integrate - Multiple codes from different programmers are integrated into one.
Build - Create CI/CD pipelines which would auto build application code on code commits.
Test - Create CI/CD pipelines which would auto execute the unit and integration tests and based on the status execute the next steps of the pipeline.
Continuous Delivery
Ensure code can be safely deployed on to production
Ensure business applications and services function as expected
Deliver every change to a production-like environment through rigorous automated testing
Continuous Deployment
Every change that passes the automated tests is deployed to production automatically
Make software development and the release process faster and more robust
