Agenda What is CI CI Principles CI Advantages/Disadvantages CI Process CI in.NET – tools CI with Sharepoint 2013 – HowTo Build process (customized) Configuration and deployment Integration testing

What is Continuous Integration? From Wikipedia: “ Continuous integration (CI) is the practice, in software engineering, of merging all developer working copies with a shared mainline several times a day.” Continuous integration Named and proposed as part of extreme programming (XP) Prevents Integration problems BDC few times per day

CI Principles Maintain a code repository Automate the build Make the build self-testing Everyone commits to the baseline every day Every commit must be built Keep the build fast Test in a clone of production environment Make it easy to get latest deliverables Everyone can see the result of the latest build Automate deployment

CI Advantages/Disadvantages Advantages When test fails, you know what’s broken Continuous fixing of integration bugs Early warning of broken/incompatible code Immediate unit testing of all changes Constant availability of build for testing Immediate feedback to developers on quality of the build Frequent check-ins pushes developers to create more modular and less complex code Metrics from automated testing provide immediate feedback about multiple performance areas Disadvantages Initial setup might take longer

CI Process Every check-in should be integration-tested Check-in policy Run build Execute unit tests(optional) For larger source trees Rolling build Gated check-ins Shelve-build-test-check-in – verify merge before check-in

CI in.NET - tools In the past – pre-Visual Studio 2010: NAnt Visual Source Safe, Vault, SVN, TFS Cruise Control.NET/TFS PSExec from SysInternals Now MSBuild TFS TFS Source control/Git TFS Build

CI in Sharepoint Requirements

My Requirements Implement CI Use existing CI Streamline deployment and configuration Test/UAT PowerShell scripts for configuration of environment and environment settings Make use of my laptop (for on premise deployments) Local development, remote deployment Gated check-in will trigger deployment to a VM in Azure
