Can you explain what workflow means in the context of development or automation processes?

Workflow is a sequence of steps or tasks performed to achieve a specific goal in the development or automation process. In the context of development, workflow describes how different stages of work (e.g., coding, testing, building, deployment) are connected and automated.

Example: in a CI/CD pipeline, a workflow may include automatically running tests after a commit, building the application, and deploying to a test server.

Workflow helps standardize processes, reduce manual labor, and improve the quality and speed of development.
