Continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) refers to a practice that enables a faster and predictable automation
development.

CI/CD integrations simplify the software development process by automating various stages from creation to deployment.

You can use this within UiPath® either with the native [Automation Ops™ - Pipelines](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-ops/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/about-automation-ops---pipelines) feature, or integrate with another third-party system.

We provide the following tools that enable CI/CD integrations:

* The [UiPath® CLI](https://docs.uipath.com/cicd-integrations/standalone/2024.10/user-guide/about-uipath-cli) tool helps automate both testing and production tasks.

* The [Azure DevOps extension](https://docs.uipath.com/cicd-integrations/standalone/2024.10/user-guide/about-azure-devops-extension) accelerates the software application development by creating CI/CD pipelines, and improves the deployment reliability.

* The [Jenkins plugin](https://docs.uipath.com/cicd-integrations/standalone/2024.10/user-guide/about-jenkins-plugin) aids in the continuous development and testing phases of software projects, making it easier to incorporate changes.

You cannot use an App Testing Robot to execute
**Process**-type Studio projects when integrating with CI/CD.
