What is Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)?

Automating build, test, and deployment so that changes are integrated and released frequently with quality checks.

SAP CI/CD covers BTP apps via SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery service and ABAP via gCTS, abapGit, or transport automation tools. Pipelines run ATC, unit tests, and regression tests. Quality gates stop faulty changes before production.
