They solve a real problem, they’re (usually) easy to use, and they offer a best-in-class customer experience. Sounds simple, right? Even if you’re just starting your career, you probably know that the opposite is true.

Business leaders really want to get their products to market as quickly as possible, but it’s virtually impossible to release stable code without a sustainable testing process in place. In response, many teams rely on continuous integration (CI), a software development practice in which individuals commit changes into a central repository multiple times per day.
