Continuous Delivery

Continuous Delivery is a software development practice where software is built in such a way that it can be released to production at any time. It is is one of the agile principles XTRF is committed to. The principal benefits of Continuous Delivery are:

• Reduced Deployment Risk ‒ deploying smaller changes results in less things to go wrong and–should a problem appear–it is easier to fix.

• Believable Progress ‒ smaller chunks of work can be deployed into a production (or production-like) environment.

• User Feedback ‒ getting working software in front of real users quick to shorten the feedback-to-development loop.
