CI/CD Optimization combines Datadog's [CI Visibility](https://docs.datadoghq.com/continuous_integration.md) and [Test Optimization](https://docs.datadoghq.com/tests.md) experiences into one unified interface. It provides a single place to understand, monitor, and improve your entire CI/CD ecosystem, from pipeline executions to individual test runs.

To enable the new experience, click Try It Now at the top of any page in CI Visibility or Test Optimization. You can return to the previous UI at any time by clicking Switch Back.

This page provides an overview of CI/CD Optimization's key features, some of which retain original functionality of CI Visibility and Test Optimization. Follow the links to legacy documentation for details on using each product within the unified UI.

## CI/CD Health{% #cicd-health %}
