3 Need for CI – Today’s development environments Distributed teams Multiple teams Multiple technologies Multiple countries Agile Development Daily/Weekly releases Cloud Platforms Short end cycles

4 Need for CI - Application Development Challenges OE Developer 1 OE Developer 2 OE Developer 3 Source code repository Infrequent commits Difficult integration Infrequent builds Testing happens late Lots of bugs

6 What is Continuous Integration? “Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently; usually each person integrates at least daily - leading to multiple integrations per day. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible.” - Martin Fowler

CI Server Fewer bugs Testing happens early Regular commits Sends feedback  Smoother integration process  Automated regression tests  Regular working releases  Better visibility  Find and fix issues faster and more easily  Smoother integration process  Automated regression tests  Regular working releases  Better visibility  Find and fix issues faster and more easily

21 Continuous Integration Best Practices Always run all tests locally before committing Wait for committed tests to pass before moving on Never go home on a broken build Always be prepared to revert to the previous revision Don’t comment out failing tests Don’t check-in on a broken build Make builds fast
