This is perhaps the most well-known strategy of DevOps. CI aims to integrate the work of an individual into a central repository on a frequent basis. This helps to identify code bugs early on and results in a higher-quality product.

Let's take a look at some of the benefits of CI:

• Maintains code integrity: Depending upon our code base and applications, multiple teams or developers are working on different features, but, indirectly, they are working on the same part of the code. A higher number of developers will cause more risk to the code's integrity. We should commit or integrate our code on a daily basis to reduce this risk and maintain the code's integrity. 
• Increases code quality: With a lower integration risk, we can focus more on code functionality and achieve a better quality product application.
• Easy to troubleshoot code errors: If any developers commit bad code that breaks the build, it will be easy to troubleshoot these issues and fix them quickly.
• Improves code testing: Different builds and versions of the code will help testers trace bugs and issues easily.
• Quick deployment: Deploying the latest build can be a very time-consuming process. It also increases the chance of error. Using CI, we can automate this process so that it will take less time to deploy:

DevOps aims to integrate development and operations teams to enable rapid software delivery. This is achieved through better communication and collaboration of the teams involved, thus resulting in shorter development times, CD, and new innovations. A unified platform is provided to development and QA teams, who perform regress testing.

By simplifying the integration steps, we can achieve the ultimate goal of a cheaper, higher-quality product. As the overall build cycle is reduced, this reduces the cost and provides more opportunity for QAs to analyze and debug the product. CI is not a process that eliminates bugs, but a process wherein new bugs can be detected at an early stage and debugged before they have any negative impact.
