Continuous delivery

Continuous delivery (CD) is a software engineering approach in which teams produce software in short cycles, ensuring that the software can be reliably released at any time.^[1]^[2] It aims at building, testing, and releasing software with greater speed and frequency. The approach helps reduce the cost, time,^{[citation needed]} and risk of delivering changes by allowing for more incremental updates to applications in production. A straightforward and repeatable deployment process is important for continuous delivery.
