Description: The continuous integration tool in Azure DevOps is an essential component that allows development teams to automate the process of building and testing their code. This tool facilitates early error detection by integrating code changes frequently, helping to maintain software quality. Azure DevOps provides an environment where developers can define CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) pipelines that orchestrate the building, testing, and deployment of applications. Key features include the ability to run automated tests, integration with code repositories like Git, and the ability to generate reports on build status. Additionally, it allows for workflow customization through task configuration and the use of extensions. The relevance of this tool lies in its ability to enhance collaboration among teams, accelerate software delivery time, and reduce the risk of errors in production, resulting in a more agile and efficient development process.
