Latency | Glossary

Definition

Latency refers to the delay that lies between the input into a system, to the eventual desired outcome. The exact meaning of the terms is understood slightly differently in various contexts. The issues regarding latency also vary depending from system to system.

Continuous Integration overall plays a part in reducing Latency.  Because it requires developers to integrate code into a shared repository multiple times a day, whilst an automated build verifies every check-in regarding problems that arise.
