<P> Continuous delivery ( CD ) is a software engineering approach in which teams produce software in short cycles , ensuring that the software can be reliably released at any time . It aims at building , testing , and releasing software faster and more frequently . The approach helps reduce the cost , time , and risk of delivering changes by allowing for more incremental updates to applications in production . A straightforward and repeatable deployment process is important for continuous delivery . </P>
what do the three continuous cycles on the continuous delivery pipeline enable
software can be reliably released at any time
