Continuous Delivery – The automated process of
implementing, validating and reporting code from
development to production. But only moving into
Production after passing a manual quality gate.

Trend:
Current Requirements – Since CI is heavily integrated
within technology the teams are attempted to be
built with QA Analysts that have Architect and
Automation Skills.
