How to Capture Release Evidence From CI/CD in 2026

The short answer

Release evidence should be a by-product of the pipeline, not a manual collection exercise. Capturing it from CI/CD means pulling approvals, test results, build verification, and deployment records into a release-linked record automatically, so every deployment carries its own audit-ready proof.

What to capture from the pipeline

• Build verification and artifact provenance.

• Test and validation results tied to the release.

• Deployment approvals with identity and timestamp.

• The deployment record itself, linked to the change set.

How LoopIQ helps

LoopIQ captures release evidence directly from CI/CD workflows and links it to each deployment, so regulated teams keep audit proof current without pausing delivery to assemble it.

FAQ

Why capture evidence from CI/CD instead of after?

Because after-the-fact reconstruction is slow and gap-prone. Pipeline-captured evidence is complete, timestamped, and defensible by default.
