CI/CD Testing
CI/CD testing focuses on making sure the continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline actually does its job reliably. Every time developers push code, the pipeline should automatically build the application, run tests, check security rules and prepare deployments without breaking the workflow. Imagine a team merging updates to a microservices system. The CI server tests each service, runs API checks, performs linting, builds containers and alerts the team if anything fails so broken code never moves forward.
This type of testing helps teams deliver features faster while keeping stability high, because problems are caught minutes after they are introduced rather than days or weeks later. It also encourages teams to keep tests healthy and updated, since a failing pipeline slows everyone down.
