Presentations

Continuous Integration

Increase feedback on your project by building your software with every change applied to your source code repository. The practice of Continuous Integration (CI) can be used to decrease the time between when a defect is introduced and when it is fixed.

Continuous Testing

The key to improving the reliability of your software is to run tests whenever a change occurs. Continuous Testing leverages the practice of continuous integration (CI) to ensure highly reliable code.

Continuous Database Integration

Performing daily or continuous builds is essential for ensuring working software. Yet, most consider only the source, not the database, as a part of these builds. What’s good for the source code is also good for your database.
