The integration and deployment of an application is a regular activity in many organizations, creating value for a client and helping developers validate their work. This process, once completely manual, became automated nowadays, and it is possible to build, test and deploy an application without any human interaction. Although some organizations might still study the pros and cons, the truth is that Continuous Integration, Deployment and Delivery are a part of many organizations, helping quickly discover errors or deliver a correction or version without disrupting the work of its users. Grasshopper SI, an organization based in Maia with 17 years, did not have these processes implemented in any of its projects. To evaluate the impact of these practices in the organization, different approaches were studied and then applied the best approach to a single project, while searching for a way to reduce the downtime between updates. This dissertation describes the whole process performed, from research to evaluation, while also evaluating the benefits and disadvantages of applying these techniques.
