Anthill Achieving Best Practices
Best Practice
Triggered CI Build Automated Testing Test Coverage Code Analysis
Benefits
Reduces Risk Ensure Quality Ensure Quality Ensure Quality
Separation of Duties
Hashing Artifacts Managing Dependencies Process Automation
Reduces Risk
Reduces Risk Reduces Risk Increased Efficiency
CI Best Practice
Before Continuous Integration:
Numerous development changes over long period of time without SCM commit
Builds executed manually without a build/deploy/test/release tool Build often fails
Test scenarios often fail and not run often due to manual intervention
Dev Team must now find and fix the code Delays to the project schedules occur.
CI Best Practice
AnthillPro implementing Continuous Integration 1. Dev Team integrates source code changes continuously. 2. Dev Team receives quick feedback of build, test, and analysis results. 3. Since the changes were just made, the problems are much easier found and fixed. 4. Code base becomes stable, quality increased, and project risk decreases.
