quality-gate-definition

Quality gates are enforced by defining automated pass/fail criteria across pipeline stages like commit, build, merge, deploy, and release. This prevents code changes from advancing without meeting consistent measurable checkpoints tailored to varying risk profiles.

Quality gates in CI/CD are measurable checkpoints that ensure code changes cannot advance without meeting specific criteria. They solve gate-based quality management problems by providing consistent phase-based definitions, automated validation, and audit trails across your delivery pipeline.

Start defining quality gates by completing the Phase 1 setup fields, which include your team or product, pipeline, delivery model, risk profile, existing gates, and preferences. This initial configuration enables automated per-gate specifications and waiver handling.

Yes, waiver handling is supported alongside audit-ready governance artifacts. The system generates end-to-end reports and diagrams for your CI/CD pipeline, ensuring that even when exceptions are granted, the quality gate enforcement process remains fully documented and compliant.

Yes, this approach to pipeline security and gate definition operates without external dependencies. It automates the enforcement of quality gates and generates governance artifacts independently, fitting directly into your existing CI/CD workflow setup.
