What is the main task achieved by using CI/CD practices in software development?

The main goal of CI/CD practices (Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery or Continuous Deployment) is to automate and accelerate the software development and release process. This is achieved through:

• Automatic integration of code changes from different developers (CI), which allows for quick identification and fixing of errors.
• Automatic building, testing, and delivery of the application to various environments (CD), reducing the time from code writing to release.

Thus, CI/CD helps improve product quality, reduce risks, and speed up the release of new versions.
