Abstract

The rapid integration of DevOps and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) has ushered in a transformative era in software development, streamlining processes and bolstering release efficiency. The amalgamation of development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) into a cohesive DevOps model facilitates a more synergistic and responsive approach to the software lifecycle. Simultaneously, CI/CD automation accelerates the software release cadence, promising quicker feedback loops and more frequent feature releases. This paper delves into the underlying principles of DevOps and CI/CD, elucidating their collaborative benefits while also highlighting the associated challenges. Furthermore, the study assesses the impact of CI/CD on software quality, providing insights into best practices and potential future trends in the landscape of DevOps-driven software engineering.
