CI/CD Best Practices for Software Development

By: Mitch Ashley on January 11, 2021 Leave a Comment

Continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) are popular software development practices for automation and shortening feedback times. However, set up improperly, your CI/CD pipelines could instead cause delays in development. For that reason, review  CI/CD best practices to ensure that your pipelines are effective and efficient.

What You Need to Know About Continuous Integration

Continuous integration is the practice of automating the build and testing of code every time a change is made and committing that code back to a central repository. One of the fundamental cornerstones of continuous integration is that it encourages breaking up development tasks into small bite-sized pieces that can be performed frequently by every developer on the team.

The Benefits of Continuous Integration

There are four key benefits of continuous integration:

  • Easier Bug Fixes
  • Reduced Project Risk
  • Improved Software Quality
  • Higher Productivity

What You Need to Know About Continuous Delivery

Continuous delivery is a software development practice that enables continuous process and software improvement through automation. Without continuous delivery, you would have to manually develop, test, and deploy code—which can often take months. That is why continuous delivery is important as it can save you and your team a great deal of time.

The Benefits of Continuous Delivery There are four key benefits of continuous delivery:

  1. Streamlining Workflows
  2. Lowering Staffing Costs
  3. Improving Operational Confidence
  4. Enhancing Teamwork

Static Code Analysis Complements Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment

Static code analysis is a natural addition to any continuous integration development process. Done correctly, static code analysis adds the possibility for almost immediate feedback of new coding issues, specific to the branch or commit containing them.

In addition, a static code analysis tool can provide your CI/CD pipeline with the following benefits:

  1. Detection of common security vulnerabilities, potential runtime errors, and other general coding errors.
  2. Compliance with safety-related coding standards, which includes MISRA and AUTOSAR.
  3. Enforce your coding guidelines or naming conventions along with your maintainability requirements.
