Automating release validation can improve the overall delivery speed without sacrificing the quality of software. In addition, it frees up critical development resources to focus on more innovative tasks and optimizing processes. Greater autonomy eliminates approval bottlenecks and ensures better overall quality software in production.

Quality gates are benchmarks in the software delivery lifecycle that define specific, measurable, and achievable success criteria that a service must meet before it is advanced to the next phase of the software delivery pipeline. In other words, 90% of organizations either rely on manual quality checks or, even more risky, rely only on hope!
