Questions tagged [continuous-integration]

Continuous integration (CI) is the building and automated testing of the full software product on a frequent schedule: at least once a day, often several times a day and sometimes as often as after every check in to the version control system.

Concept

Continuous integration is an important part of an agile software development process. Integration is an important step to detect quality issues, so if it is done frequently, problems will be detected earlier and fewer at a time. Hence, continuous integration can help to reduce the overall cost of the process. Although continuous integration could be automated with simple scripting, it is generally more advantageous to use tools built for this purpose, especially for complex projects with many modular parts.

Tools

One of the first tools to become popular for this purpose was CruiseControl. Now there are many such products, both open source and proprietary.

References

Martin Fowler has a good writeup of what it all means in Continuous Integration.

Android CI with Atlassian Bamboo

Does anyone have any good resources for setting up Bamboo to do CI with Android projects? I have mine setup to pull source and compile it with ant. But I would love to know how to setup JUnit tests, where the tests are in a separate project. Thanks

Is there a pre-made Continuous Integration solution for .NET applications?

From my perspective, we're constructing our own 'flavour' of NAnt/Ivy/CruiseControl.Net in-house and can't help but get the feeling that other dev shops are doing exactly the same work, but then everybody is finding out the same problems and…

How does TeamCity know when an xUnit.net test is run?

I have always wondered how TeamCity recognizes that it is running xUnit.net tests and how it knows to put a separate "Test" tab in the build overview after a build step runs. Is the xUnit console runner somehow responsible for that?
