What is the difference between these three terms? My university provides the following definitions:
Continuous Integration basically just means that the developer’s working copies are synchronized with a shared mainline several times a day.
Continuous Delivery is described as the logical evolution of continuous integration: Always be able to put a product into production!
Continuous Deployment is described as the logical next step after continuous delivery: Automatically deploy the product into production whenever it passes QA!
They also provide a warning: Sometimes the term “Continuous Deployment” is also used if you are able to continuously deploy to the test system.
All this leaves me confused. Any explaination that is a little more detailed (or comes with an example) is appreciated!
