Implementing Build-Deploy-Test-Release Automation in the Enterprise
Broadcast Date: Thurs., July 29, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. EDT
Speakers: Jeffrey Fredrick, UrbanCode Technical Evangelist and Eric Minick, Lead Consultant
While there is much discussion of implementing Continuous Integration at the team level there is less information available on implementing such automation in the Enterprise. Where does automation meet change management, approvals and process? How do we integrate our build systems to our deployment systems? In this lean economy there are plenty of rewards for companies who can answer these questions. Automation helps teams become more efficient, reduces waste, and improves consistency from project to project.
Join UrbanCode's Jeffrey Fredrick and Eric Minick for a 1-hour discussion where they examine the role and limits of automation in an integrated strategy for moving software from source code to production release. Covered topics include:
- What is required in Enterprise Continuous Integration.
- The basics of distributed automation.
- Where automation can support the build-deploy-test-release process.
- How and why to use a build-promotion approach.
- Establishing an end-to-end audit trail.
