CI/CD pipelines are crucial in modern software development but present challenges, such as limited testing environments, ownership issues, and security tool integration, which can hinder successful implementation. Missteps often arise from poor practices, inadequate training, and resistance to change within organizations. To address these, companies should ensure proper configuration, use cloud-based automation platforms like LambdaTest for testing, and enforce clear ownership and logging to quickly resolve issues. Effective CI/CD implementation requires thorough evaluation of requirements, the right tools, and training to improve agility and focus on feature delivery over operational control.
