CI

Abbreviation for Continuous Integration

In short and in plain language

CI is a way of working when people build software.

New changes are joined together all the time. A program then checks them by itself.

It usually comes with a further step. Then the software is also delivered by itself.

Login details are often stored there. For shops, this is a matter of safety.

Definition
CI is a software development practice in which changes are merged continuously and checked automatically. It usually appears together with CD for automated delivery. For shops, credentials stored there are a security topic.
