Automated Processes
Automated Processes refer to the use of technology to perform tasks or workflows without human intervention, typically through scripts, tools, or software that execute predefined steps. This methodology aims to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and save time by automating repetitive or complex operations in development, deployment, testing, and maintenance. It encompasses practices like continuous integration, deployment automation, and task scheduling.
Developers should learn and use automated processes to streamline software development lifecycles, ensure consistency in deployments, and improve productivity by eliminating manual, error-prone tasks. Key use cases include automating builds and tests in CI/CD pipelines, scheduling data backups or reports, and orchestrating infrastructure provisioning in DevOps environments. It is essential for scaling operations, maintaining reliability, and enabling rapid iteration in modern software projects.
