Automated Notification and Testing with Buddy

Hello and welcome back to 3rd article of The DevOps Series with Buddy!

In the previous articles, Introduction to DevOps and Managing Team and Roles, we have explored the following concepts:

• What is DevOps?
• What is CI/CD?
• What is a pipeline?
• What are the DevOps Team Structures and Roles?
• How do we manage roles and permissions in Buddy?

For this article, we shall discuss another important concept in DevOps: Automation

Automation in DevOps is Crucial. Here’s Why.

Previously in the Introduction to DevOps article, I have explained what a CI/CD Pipeline is. To recap, it is essentially a fully automated and efficient pipeline to continuously test and deliver high-quality products to the user.

Automation in the pipeline can help developers perform tests more frequently without much manual labour and time. It helps speed up communication as well to have automated notifications sent to the team when there is an error or bug fixed in the pipeline.
