Continuous delivery is a software development discipline where you build software in such a way that the software can be released to production at any time. The idea is to make your software releasable at any moment of time by integrating it continuously and releasing it frequently to get early and frequent feedback. Because of the approval process that exists in the release process of Android apps, Continuous Delivery is not easy for Android apps as compared to web application deployments. And it's also assumed that not much tools are available to enable Continuous Delivery. Yes, its still not instant update to the app, but still things are better than how it has been in the past. This talk gives an overview of tools and techniques that can help us to create a pipeline to get fast and frequent feedback through continuous delivery.
