Continuous Integration (CI) Workshop

Continuous Integration (CI) Workshop

Custom Team Workshop on Continuous Integration & Delivery, Release Maturity and Automation

Continuous Integration Workshop Summary

Continuous Integration (CI) is a big part of continuous delivery in Scrum software development. It is the concept of continuously building and testing software using an automated process. Scrum professionals often recommend using Continuous Integration because of the continuous delivery and quality it provides. We have learned that utilizing CI can help us catch bugs earlier, enable better visibility, reduce repetitive processes, enable the development team to produce deployable products at a moment’s notice, and reduce risk overall. This workshop is a hands on workshop to get your software developers and programmers to adopt the Continuous Integration method.

More on Continuous Integration: CI is a situation where a team has sufficient automation tools in place to take a code change commit to a source repository all the way through build, test, verify and finally deploy to a production server. The coding practices to maintain this system add some overhead including a requirement on producing good automated tests together with feature code and an attention to the continuous build server (when a build fails the team stops what they are doing to fix the build.)
