CI/CD (continuous integration and continuous delivery)
Automated practices for building, testing and releasing software. Continuous integration checks every change against automated tests; continuous delivery keeps software in a releasable state and automates deployment.
Why it matters
CI/CD makes change routine and low-risk. Small, frequently tested changes are easier to review and roll back than large, infrequent releases.
The same discipline applies to data pipelines, models and AI prompts. Automated evaluation in the release pipeline is how teams stop a change from quietly degrading quality.
In practice
For example, a UK insurer’s broker portal team might run automated tests, security scans and an AI-assistant evaluation suite on every change, deploying to production only when all checks pass and a reviewer approves.
