# CICD - Continuous Integration Continuous Deployment CI/CD integrates the work of development, security, and operations teams by continuously integrating changes into the code base and testing, validating, and deploying this code all throughout the development lifecycle. It encourages collaboration across teams and simplifies code validation and builds. All of this leads to increased speed of innovation, higher code quality, faster feedback, fewer risks, and less bottlenecking. --- Bibliography: - [What is CI/CD? - gitlab.com](https://about.gitlab.com/topics/ci-cd/)
