What are Some Common CI/CD Tools?
CI and CD tools can help to team with the development, deployment, and testing, some of highly recommended for the integration part and some are for the development and management of the testing and related functionality.
most of the famous tools for the CI and CD which is Jenkins. It is open source and it will help to handle all types of work and design a simple Ci server to complete the CD hub.
apart from the Jenkins, many more sources are available for the proper way of managing CI and CD which are listed below:
- Concourse: It is an open-source tool to build the mechanics of CI and CD.
- GoCD: it’s used for the modeling and visualization.
- Screwdriver is a building platform for CD.
- Spinnaker: it’s a CD platform used to build a multi-cloud environment.
What is CI/CD?
CI And CD is the practice of automating the integration of code changes from multiple developers into a single codebase. It is a software development practice where the developers commit their work frequently to the central code repository (Github or Stash). Then there are automated tools that build the newly committed code and do a code review, etc as required upon integration.
The key goals of Continuous Integration are to find and address bugs quicker, make the process of integrating code across a team of developers easier, improve software quality, and reduce the time it takes to release new feature updates. Some popular CI tools are Jenkins, TeamCity, and Bamboo.
Continuous Integration
There could be scenarios when developers in a team, work in isolation for an extended period and only merge their changes to the master branch once their work is completed. This not only makes the merging of code very difficult, prone to conflicts, and time-consuming but also results in bugs accumulating for a long time which are only identified in later stages of development. These factors make it harder to deliver updates to customers quickly.
With Continuous Integration, developers frequently commit to a shared common repository using a version control system such as Git. A continuous integration pipeline can automatically run builds, store the artifacts, run unit tests, and even conduct code reviews using tools like Sonar. We can configure the CI pipeline to be triggered every time there is a commit/merge in the codebase.
