4. INTRO
What is CI?
Who needs CI?
How to start
Amir Barylko - CI MavenThought Inc.

5. WHAT IS CI?
• Development methodology that aims to
• Automate building process
• Verify sanity of each build
• Automate unit, integration and acceptance testing
• Placeholder for other tools
Amir Barylko - CI MavenThought Inc.

6. WHY DO YOU NEED CI?
• Make sure the build is not broken
• Catch failing test sooner than later
• Generate nightly builds
• Deploy automatically
• Deploy with one click
• Run extra tools (static analysis, code coverage, etc)
Amir Barylko - CI MavenThought Inc.

7. HOW TO START
• Automate your process/tasks with a script
• Install a CI server (TeamCity, Jenkins, etc...)
• Create basic build and testing
• Add visible notifications
• Add deployment
• Add other tools like static analysis, etc...

9. IN A NUTSHELL
• Build automation and management server
• Team communication
• Platform agnostic
• Free professional version with 20 projects and 3 agents

11. SOURCE CONTROL
• Many providers: Git, Hg, SVN, TFS, CVS, VSS, etc....
• Build trigger rules to detect changes
• Labelling

12. BUILD AGENTS
• Each agent can run in a different system/environment
• Concurrent build
• Real-time results
• Dedicated agents for particular tasks (like slow tests)
Amir Barylko - CI MavenThought Inc.

13. NOTIFICATIONS
• Rich and friendly web interface
• Notifiers using email, jabber, tray, etc...
• HTML widget status

Success Tips
Next Steps
Amir Barylko - CI MavenThought Inc.

16. AUTONOMOUS BUILD
• Build with the minimum amount of tools
• Store necessary tools with the projects (if possible)
• Avoid storing binaries libraries/assemblies in repository
• Avoid storing artifacts that can be generated
Amir Barylko - CI MavenThought Inc.

17. ITERATION 0
• Flush out architecture.
• Setup Testing harness for TDD and BDD.
• Setup continuous integration.
• Setup scripts to build, deploy, etc.
• Setup visual communication tools.
Amir Barylko - CI MavenThought Inc.

18. SUCCESS TIPS
• Commit often (in your branch)
• Make sure you run builds and tests before committing
• Fix build failures immediately
• Fail fast
• Act on metrics
• Build on every target environment
• Create artifacts for every build
Amir Barylko - CI MavenThought Inc.

19. NEXT STEPS
• Build automatically per branch
• Let your clients deploy
• Shelving commits
• Discover static analysis tools
