+    What checks do you run in your CI pipeline?
+---
+
+As well as [committing build artifacts][0], another common use for CI pipelines is for running automated checks.
+
+This could include code linting, static analysis, automated tests, checking for security vulnerabilities, and more.
+
+Instead of relying on Developers running these checks manually, running them automatically in a CI pipeline ensures they're run regularly and that each commit is deployable.
+
+If all the checks pass, a commit can be promoted and released.
+
+If not, the commit should not be deployed and it should be fixed.
+
+This makes a CI pipeline and automated checks vital to ensure the quality of your software, to identify regressions, and to avoid promoting and releasing broken code.
