Understanding SDLC using CI/CD pipeline

Development of complex and quality software necessitates the use of a development model, so that the development process is efficient, reliable and faster. Software development life cycle (SDLC) is a well-defined and wellorganized process used to plan, develop, deploy and maintain high quality software systems. DevOps is one recent addition to SDLC that ensures that the development and operations team collaborate to accelerate the deployment and delivery of higher quality software products. This paper throws a light on how development processes are accelerated using DevOps tactics like continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. however, there are several factors that prevent the organizations from using these approaches. Discovering the evolution of DevOps and its continuous practices, gives a thorough understanding of the importance of the DevOps culture. Manual deployment and testing increase the feedback time of a commit operation. The paper discusses various tools available in the DevOps community that can be used to automate various stages of continuous integration and deployment pipeline, so that the feedback time is reduced.
