# About continuous integration (CI) in dbt

dbt platform

Use [CI jobs](./ci-jobs.md) in dbt to set up automation for testing code changes before merging to production. Additionally, [enable Advanced CI features](../platform/account-settings.md#account-access-to-advanced-ci-features) for these jobs to evaluate whether the code changes are producing the appropriate data changes you want by reviewing the comparison differences dbt provides.

Refer to the guide [Get started with continuous integration tests](../../guides/set-up-ci.md?step=1) for more information.
