What is continuous integration?

 Continuous integration is a software development process where developers integrate the new code they’ve written more frequently throughout the development cycle, adding it to the code base at least once a day. Once the code is commited to the repository, automated build, code analysis,scanning, coverage, testing are performed. Continuous feedback system is enabled to respective stakeholders to take necessary action without any delay. Overall, continuous integration helps streamline the build process, resulting in higher-quality software and more predictable delivery schedules.
