AN IN-DEPTH EXAMINATION OF CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION'S ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF PAYMENT SYSTEMS

Abstract

Within the quickly changing field of technology, the creation of payment systems represents a crucial intersection between innovation and security. This study explores the critical role of Continuous Integration (CI) in determining payment systems' resilience, effectiveness, and dependability. Efficient development processes are more critical than ever as payment systems get more intricate and pervasive in our daily lives. Continuous Integration (CI) is a fundamental methodology that helps developers minimize errors, react quickly to changes, and improve the overall quality of payment solutions. The paper starts by describing the essential ideas and methods of continuous integration (CI), clarifying its importance concerning the larger field of software development. The study also investigates the difficulties payment systems present and their particular needs, including security, compliance, and scalability. The study analyzes current research and identifies gaps that call for more investigation, drawing from a thorough literature review. The study highlights enhanced security, quicker delivery, and adaptability to changing payment paradigms while illuminating the concrete influence of CI on payment system development through case studies and real-world examples. This research emphasizes how critical it is to incorporate CI into the development of payment systems as a key factor in success, dependability, and innovation as the technological foundation of our financial transactions continues to change.
