What is caching, and why should you care? In this article, we cover topics like what a cache is, how caching works, how it can speed up your build times, why you should cache your builds, and more.
Codemagic is now officially integrated with Runway, the DevOps platform for mobile. But wait, you might be wondering, isn’t Codemagic already that as a CI/CD for mobile? Aren’t the two services interchangeable? In fact, it’s quite the opposite — they’re powerfully complementary.
CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery. It is an automated process of integrating code from multiple developers, testing it quickly and continuously, and delivering it to customers on demand. It is part of modern software development techniques which keep track of all the changes made by different developers and helps prevent breaking changes from being deployed.
Organizations are moving toward test automation, which reduces software delivery time. The automation helps to reduce manual effort, especially when you need to re-run the regression multiple times on a tight schedule. Additionally, an automation framework can be added to the CI/CD pipeline, which can serve as a quality gate before pushing the development code to different stages.
Jenkins and Ansible have been well-acclaimed by developers worldwide. Jenkins is used primarily for building and testing software projects, while Ansible is used for managing and automating the configuration and deployment of infrastructure and applications. In this article, we have illustrated the differences between Jenkins vs. Ansible. Table Of Contents.
Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) tools are invaluable assets for any software development team, enabling them to quickly and effectively build, test, and deploy software applications. These tools make it easier and faster to get new features and updates out to users. By effectively automating the software production process, CI/CD tools can help streamline the development process, reduce the risk of human error, and decrease the time required to get a new version into production.
We have spoken in a previous blog post about documentation about how we believe that if you are building performance tests that support either Continuous Integration or Continuous Delivery then having to produce performance testing documentation before and after each test does not fit with this methodology.
