Can you describe the sequence of steps involved in the CI/CD pipeline process?

A CI/CD pipeline typically includes the following steps:

1. Build — compiling source code and preparing artifacts.
2. Test — automatically running unit tests, integration tests, and other checks.
3. Code quality analysis — static analysis, style, and security checks.
4. Deploy — automatically deploying the application to a test or production environment.
5. Monitoring and feedback — tracking the application's status and collecting metrics for process improvement.

Each of these stages can be automated and configured depending on the project and tools.
