What is CI? • Software package to integrate the development of software on a daily process
Where? • CI was originated from the XP community • Developed by Martin Fowler and Kent Beck
How can it help me? • Instant feedback of bugs • Executes tests, reports automatically • Like having another developer present to compile • Automates the build process • Automates report generation • Constant monitor for TDD code coverage
What do I need? • CI Server • TeamCity • CruiseControl.NET • Source Control software • SVN • VSS • CVS • Build script • Nant • msbuild
Nant/MsBuild • Use a build script to leverage CI • Bootstrap report generation via build script • NCover • Ndepend • NUnit
Commit early, commit often • Make sure every developer commits everyday
Label your builds • Create label/tag for each published version • Label/tag a nightly build
