For any software developer who has spent days in "integration hell,"

cobbling together myriad software components, Continuous Integration:

Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk illustrates how to

transform integration from a necessary evil into an everyday part of the

development process. The key, as the authors show, is to integrate

regularly and often using continuous integration (CI) practices and

techniques. The authors first examine the concept of CI and its

practices from the ground up and then move on to explore other effective

processes performed by CI systems, such as database integration,

testing, inspection, deployment, and feedback. Through more than forty

CI-related practices using application examples in different languages,

readers learn that CI leads to more rapid software development, produces

deployable software at every step in the development lifecycle, and

reduces the time between defect introduction and detection, saving time

and lowering costs. With successful implementation of CI, developers

reduce risks and repetitive manual processes, and teams receive better

project visibility. The book covers

- How to make integration a "non-event" on your software development

projects

- How to reduce the amount of repetitive processes you perform when

building your software

- Practices and techniques for using CI effectively with your teams

- Reducing the risks of late defect discovery, low-quality software,

lack of visibility, and lack of deployable software

- Assessments of different CI servers and related tools on the market

The book's companion Web site, www.integratebutton.com, provides updates

and code examples.
