+| Task | More information |
+| ---- | ---------------- |
+| Automatically test and build your application | "[About continuous integration](/actions/automating-builds-and-tests/about-continuous-integration)" | 
+| Deploy your application | "[About continuous deployment](/actions/deployment/about-deployments/about-continuous-deployment)" |

+{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} helps your team work faster at scale. When large repositories start using {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}, teams merge significantly more pull requests per day, and the pull requests are merged significantly faster. For more information, see "[Writing and shipping code faster](https://octoverse.github.com/writing-code-faster/#scale-through-automation)" in the State of the Octoverse.
+
+{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} also provides greater control over deployments. For example, you can use environments to require approval for a job to proceed, restrict which branches can trigger a workflow, or limit access to secrets.{% ifversion ghec or ghae-issue-4856 %} If your workflows need to access resources from a cloud provider that supports OpenID Connect (OIDC), you can configure your workflows to authenticate directly to the cloud provider. This will allow you to stop storing credentials as long-lived secrets and provide other security benefits. For more information, see "[About security hardening with OpenID Connect](/actions/deployment/security-hardening-your-deployments/about-security-hardening-with-openid-connect)."{% endif %}

Self-hosted runners allow you to determine the exact environment and resources that complete your builds, testing, and deployments, without exposing your software development cycle to the internet. For more information, see {% ifversion ghec %}"[About {% data variables.product.company_short %}-hosted runners](/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners)" and{% endif %} "[About self-hosted runners](/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/about-self-hosted-runners)."
