The Fallacy of Continuous Integration, Delivery and Testing
We know that continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) have become a DevOps best practice. And many have learned that by adding continuous testing (CT), they can create a virtuous loop, ensuring perpetual code quality and security. They’re not wrong. Yes, testing continuously is good practice, but some incorrectly equate the concept of continuous with […]
