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. Automating quality gates creates reliable checks and balances and speeds up the process by avoiding manual intervention.

Release validation is a DevOps methodology that tests a software component to verify that it meets its release criteria before being released to the next phase of development or to production. While developing an application, service, or piece of code, it is critical to test the releases during defined milestones.
