Engineering Code Confidence: Building Effective Quality Gates in CI/CD pipelines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781049292908)

Code confidence is not achieved through isolated tools or late-stage testing.

It is built into the pipeline, enforced through automation, and refined through continuous feedback.

• Do you know how confident you are in the code you deploy?
• Can your pipelines reliably prevent defects, vulnerabilities, and performance issues before they reach production?
• Are your quality standards clearly defined, measurable, and consistently enforced?
• Do your teams receive fast, actionable feedback when something goes wrong?
• Is there alignment between development, testing, security, and operations in how quality is governed?
• Do you know how to embed quality into your delivery process, not as a checkpoint, but as a continuous, automated discipline?

Engineering Code Confidence answers these questions and more, guiding teams on how to build and scale effective quality gates within modern CI/CD pipelines. It explores how to move beyond reactive testing toward proactive quality enforcement, where every commit is validated, every risk is assessed, and every deployment is backed by data-driven confidence.
