Continuous Integration

Cedrick Johnson

Tuesday March 11th 2003 at 7:00pm
College of DuPage, SRC 1450b

Abstract

As software projects grow in complexity, so does the time it takes to resolve code integration issues, and locating bugs before they become showstoppers to your project. Continuous Integration - the act of building often; is often overlooked in the rush to develop software quickly. It can also be the one idea that will save you from Friday Night Fever: Code Integration.

In the presentation we will cover:

The evening will be capped with a demo of a very famous Open Source CI tool: CruiseControl from Martin Fowler and the gang at ThoughtWorks. During the demo, we will create our very own CI "process".
