Automating quality gates is ideal, as it minimizes manually checking and validating key metrics throughout the SDLC. By actively monitoring metrics such as error rate, success rate, and CPU load, quality gates instill confidence in teams during software releases. Fewer expensive fixes. But how do they function in practice?
