Continuous Delivery | Glossary

Definition
Continuous delivery (CD), is a popular software development approach in which teams produce software in short cycles, to make sure that high quality software can be delivered with high reliability, at any time.

  • It aims at building, testing, and releasing software faster and more frequently. The approach helps reduce the cost, time, and risk of delivering changes by allowing for more incremental updates, to applications in production.
  • A straight forward, and repeatable deployment process, is important for continuous delivery.
