CD stands for “Continuous Delivery” and is a software development practice that uses Continuous Integration (CI) and test automation to enable frequent and reliable delivery of software.
This method promotes fast feedback, early error detection and enables more flexible release options. The benefits include faster response times, risk minimization and more efficient delivery costs. Disadvantages can include an excessive focus on deployment frequency and possible infrastructure errors. Continuous Delivery is part of CI/CD, where CI includes regular testing and code merging.
Continuous Delivery automates testing and deployment to enable developers to deliver code changes quickly and efficiently. This helps to solve transparency and communication problems between development and business.
