EFXCI-System
============

Welcome to the EFXCI-System documentation. This section provides an overview of
the system, its goals, and the intended audience.

Purpose
-------

The EFXCI-System is a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
platform built on top of `Zuul <https://zuul-ci.org/>`_. It has been extended
and customized to address the unique needs of **automotive software projects**.

The system automates building and testing, with a strong focus on reliability, 
maintainability, and development velocity. Unlike standard Zuul setups, EFXCI 
emphasizes a **Web UI-driven experience** to make the entire gating workflow
more approachable for engineers, project managers, and quality teams.

Key Features
------------

- **Automotive project focus**: Tailored workflows and integrations for
  automotive-grade software development.
- **Web UI-driven configuration**: Connect version control systems and storage
  services entirely through the interface — no manual YAML edits required.
- **Production line management**: Create and manage production lines, add
  build scripts, and configure test execution directly from the UI.
- **Scalable architecture**: A distributed agent-based model for build and test
  execution, ensuring scalability and security across large automotive projects.
