Which of the following describes continuous deployment?

A method of storing application data securely
A process to merge code and prepare it for testing
An integrated set of practices to deploy software changes
A strategy to develop software only when necessary

The correct answer is: An integrated set of practices to deploy software changes

Continuous deployment refers to an integrated set of practices that enable teams to automatically deploy software changes to a production environment after they pass automated tests. This practice is part of the broader DevOps philosophy and emphasizes the automation of the release process to ensure that software updates can be available to users quickly and efficiently. It allows for frequent releases by automating the entire lifecycle of changes, from coding to deployment, minimizing the manual processes involved. This reduces the risk associated with deployments and allows organizations to rapidly respond to user feedback, improve features, fix bugs, and iterate on their solutions more effectively. The focus on automation and a streamlined deployment process is what distinguishes continuous deployment from other software development strategies, making it a key practice for organizations aiming to adopt agile and responsive approaches in their software delivery.
