Quality gates are benchmarks in the software delivery lifecycle that define specific, measurable, and achievable success criteria a service must meet before moving to the next phase of the software delivery pipeline. Automating quality gates creates reliable checks and balances and speeds up the process by avoiding manual intervention.
