Continuous integration (CI) is a DevOps practice whereby code contributed by engineers is integrated into a project frequently and automatically. CI involves the use of a shared version control system (VCS), which is usually accompanied by other tools (including testing tools,) to manage source code. Engineers push code changes using the shared VCS; the code is then reviewed and tested before the build process is completed.
