description: For any software developer who has spent days in integration hell cobbling together myriad software components Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk illustrates how to transform integration from a necessary evil into an everyday part of the development process. The key as the authors show is to integrate regularly and often using continuous integration (CI) practices and techniques. The authors first examine the concept of CI and its practices from the ground up and then move on to explore other effective processes performed by CI systems such as database integration testing inspection deployment and feedback. Through more than forty CI-related practices using application examples in different languages readers learn that CI leads to more rapid software development produces deployable software at every step in the development lifecycle and reduces the time between defect introduction and detection saving time and lowering costs. With successful implementation of CI developers reduce risks and repetitive manual processes and teams receive better project visibility. The book covers The books companion Web site  provides updates and code examples.
