Most modern applications being developed today use the concept of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) to rapidly update and deliver changes to end users. Continuous Integration (CI) includes having small incremental changes made to central code repositories for an application. As changes are made and pushed to the central repository, CI tools can run unit and automation tests to help identify defects before they make it to the end users.

Continuous Delivery (CD) aims to get updates including new features, configuration changes, and bug fixes into higher environments quickly and safely. CD tools automate deployments of new builds for faster time to market with lower costs and less risk.

VPT fits in to the CI/CD pipeline, allowing you and your team to performance test early and often. You can automate tests in VPT using the VPT CLI tool to run tests after each build or promotion of your application.
