BuildBot is a continuous integration system written in Python that automates the compile/test cycle. It helps developers practice continuous integration by committing code changes frequently and having the code automatically built and tested on a separate integration machine. This allows bugs to be detected quickly before they become larger issues. The presentation recommends maintaining a single source code repository, automating testing and builds, and keeping the build process fast in order to gain the benefits of continuous integration like reduced risk and easier bug fixing.

23. Why use CI system Detect integration errors ASAP Fix bugs made in last week: painful

24. Fix bugs made in last month: very painful!!!

25. People thought... Before It can't work (here).

26. Doing it won't make much difference. After Yes we do that – how could you live without it?

27. How to use CI system Checkout source code from VCS

28. Modify code

29. Run self-testing code (ex. unit test)

30. Update and commit
