Continuous Integration - Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk. Frequeny integration helps us understand sucess, failure & quality parameters; This means Sale / Marketing team can be confident of delivering a usable software. I've recently read Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk. This is one of the enablers of iterative development processes. Agile processes depend upon continuous integration, but any software development process is improved with continuous integration. My team recently moved from one centralized version control system (telelogic) to another, subversion. As such, the book Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk became a big influence in how I build quality into the development process from the very beginning. Inspection; Continuous Deployment. The ultimate goal of Continuous is to be able to fire any type of release at any time with minimal risk whether it is a Milestone, Release Candidate or GA : quality requirements become a must-have and no more a nice-to-have. Doing so facilitates [2] Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk by Paul Duvall, Steve Matyas and Andrew Glover. Reduce Risks by running continious unit tests, integration tests; Produce deployable software at any time and at any place; Enhances project(s) visibility (especially when we have lot of choose from); Helps improve confidence in the software product from the development team recent build status. Paul Duvall, Steve Matyas, and Andrew Glover have written a fine book describing the value and practice of Continuous Integration or CI for short. By integrating many times a day, you can reduce risks on your project. Continuous integration aims to improve the quality of software, and to reduce the time taken to deliver it, by replacing the traditional practice of applying quality control after completing all development. It's no secret that most or all of Agile practices are aimed at reducing risk and improving the feedback cycle, right? Continuous Integration – strategies for branching and merging. Continuous Integration reduces risk as integration problems are small (as small as the integration frame) and detected early (Of course, it's not the same to integrate 4 hours of work to integrating 3 days of work with a mainline that surely contains much more It helps reducing risk and improves feedback (which leads to a product with better quality).
