CI Testing

ELI5 — The Vibe Check

CI Testing is running all your tests automatically every time someone pushes code. The CI server (like GitHub Actions) runs them in the cloud, and if anything fails, it blocks the merge. It's like having a robot QA engineer that never sleeps and never lets bad code through.

Real Talk

CI (Continuous Integration) testing automatically executes the test suite on every commit or pull request. It provides fast feedback on regressions, enforces quality gates before merging, and runs in an isolated environment. Failing CI blocks deployment until tests are green.
