Kas on võimalik selgitada CI (jätkuva integratsiooni) kontseptsiooni CI/CD praktika kontekstis?

Continuous integration (CI) is a practice of frequently merging code changes from different developers into a shared repository. Each commit is automatically verified through builds and tests to quickly identify errors and conflicts.

In the context of CI/CD (continuous integration and continuous deployment), CI is responsible for automatic code verification and integration, while CD handles the automatic delivery of verified code to testing or production environments.

Example: a developer pushes changes to the repository — an automatic build and tests are triggered (CI). If everything succeeds, the changes are automatically deployed to a test server (CD). This accelerates the development cycle and improves product quality.
