How does CI/CD contribute to faster feedback for development teams?

By delaying all testing until the end of the development cycle to avoid interrupting developers.

By deploying every change directly to production without any testing, so users provide feedback.

By requiring manual testing before every integration, which ensures thorough validation.

By automating builds and tests so that developers learn about integration issues shortly after they commit code.

A company must comply with a regulation that requires all code changes to be reviewed and approved before they are deployed to production. They want to automate as much as possible while still meeting this requirement. Which CI/CD approach should they use?

Continuous integration only, with no automated deployment

Manual code review after deployment to production

Continuous delivery with a manual approval gate before production deployment

Continuous deployment to production without any manual approval

A small startup has a single developer who manually builds the application, runs tests locally, and then uploads the artifact to a server. The developer wants to reduce the time between committing code and knowing whether the change breaks anything. Which approach best addresses this need?

Use a version control system to track changes but keep the current manual process.

Set up a CI pipeline that automatically builds and runs tests on every commit.

Continue manual builds but schedule a nightly test run to catch issues.

Deploy every commit directly to production without testing.

A company is deploying a web application to a public cloud and must ensure that the deployment complies with internal security policies. They want to automate compliance checks. Which approach is most effective?

Perform manual compliance reviews after each deployment

Integrate policy-as-code checks into the CI/CD pipeline to validate configurations before deployment

Rely on the cloud provider's default security settings

Disable compliance checks to speed up deployments
