Automation Pipeline

Definitions

1. A chained sequence of automated steps that process code or data from one stage to the next, such as build, test, package, deploy, and verify. Automation pipelines are the backbone of modern delivery because they turn repeatable engineering work into versioned, observable workflows.

   In plain English: A series of automated steps that move work from one stage to the next.

   Example: "The automation pipeline blocked the release because integration tests passed but the smoke deploy stage failed against the staging environment."
