Scaling Continuous Integration to Teams with Parallel Development
Broadcast Date: Thurs., Jan. 19, 2012, 1:00 p.m. EST
Speakers: Eric Minick, UrbanCode Lead Consultant & Chris Lucca, AccuRev Technical Evangelist
Continuous Integration is simple with a single development team. But when software projects grow to multiple teams and dependencies, Continuous Integration loses effectiveness due to parallel projects, varying release schedules, and differing cadences between teams. As a result, many teams unknowingly lose the benefits of Continuous Integration, and therefore suffer from a lack of feedback and poor quality.
In this webinar, UrbanCode's Eric Minick and AccuRev's Chris Lucca will explain how to:
- Scale Continuous Integration builds across multiple development teams working on parallel projects
- Share only code that has passed Continuous Integration from other teams to avoid broken builds and confusion
- Automate the configuration of your test environment to handle fluid projects done in parallel
