Quality gates are benchmarks in the software delivery lifecycle that define specific, measurable, and achievable success criteria a service must meet before moving to the next phase of the software delivery pipeline. According to Six Sigma Daily, poor testing leads to overruns amounting to up to 40% of an operation’s budget.
