Software testing plays a vital role in today's software development. But manual testing is often quite time intensive, so the testing procedure is automated. We can also automate the delivery process of new versions of our software to the end customer. This is called continuous integration/deployment. There is a wide variety of platforms that support CI/CD functionalities, but which one to choose?
In this document I have reviewed and compared three different platforms - GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab. I focused on the execution of their CI/CD functionalities, while also comparing their monetization and other functions they offer. My analysis shows that the execution of CI/CD functionality is very similar on all three compared platforms and that each platform focuses on a different part of the market. In the final chapter I also added some recommendations for different types of teams and companies.
