Slides from my presentation in JavaOne 2016 on the topic of how to keep your CI/CD pipeline under control. Don't let it grow to unmanageable build times! Learn to find out when your pipeline is too slow and you need to do something about it, and when it's fine and you can just carry on with your life.
At J and Beyond 2011, I presented a session about using Continuous integration processes during Joomla and PHP development. I present the concepts of CI, and give some direction where to start setting it up yourself.
One of the challenges faced by many web development based projects is the integration of source code for multiple releases during parallel development. The task to build and test the multiple versions of source code can eat out the quality time and limit the efficiency of the development/QA team. The case study focuses to resolve the issues of extensive effort consumed in build and deployment process from multiple branches in source repository and aim at Identification of source code integration issues at the earliest stage. This can further be enhanced to limit the manual intervention by integration of build system with test automation tool.
The above can be achieved by using different CI tools (like Hudson/Bamboo/TeamCity/CruiseControl etc) for continuous build preparation and its integration with any test automation suite. The case study specifies the use of CI-Hudson tool for continuous integration using ANT tool for build preparation and further invoking the automation test suite developed using selenium. It also discusses the limitations and challenges of using such an integration system for testing a web based application deployed on Apache Tomcat server. It also details additional plugins available to enhance such an integration of multiple systems and what can be achieved using the above integration.

Day 3 - DevOps Culture - Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment on th...Amazon Web Services
Much has been said about DevOps culture, this webinar talks about exactly what it means to exercise a DevOps methodology inside your organisation and takes a more detailed look at Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment – two of the elements of a successful DevOps framework. With AWS’s API driven infrastructure, running a lean platform becomes possible and the ability to treat ‘Infrastructure as Code’.
Reasons to attend:
- Learn how to set up and experience the benefits of 'Continuous Integration' and 'Continuous Deployment' for your Development Environment.
- Learn about DevOps best practices and the agility that the AWS Cloud can bring your business.
- Learn how business have successfully implemented DevOps methodologies.
When DevOps talks meet DevOps tactics, companies find that Continuous Integration is the make or break point. And implementing CI is one thing, but sustainable CI takes a little bit more consideration. CI is not all about releases, it is also about knowing more about how your software delivery pipeline works, it's weak points, and how you are doing over time.
Join CloudBees and cPrime as we discuss best practices for facilitating DevOps pipelines with Jenkins Workflow and reveal how the workflow engine of Jenkins CI and “Agilecentric” Devops practices together, support complex control structures, shortens the development cycle, stabilizes environments and reduces defects.

What is Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery Sarah Elson
Continuous integration and Continuous Delivery are the processes, where your development team involves frequent code changes that are pushed in the main branch while ensuring that it does not impact any changes made by developers working parallelly. The aim of it is to reduce the chance of defects and conflicts during the integration of the complete project. Let’s take a deep dive and learn more about the fundamentals of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. What is it?
Continuous integration (CI) is the practice, in
software engineering, of merging all developer
working copies to a shared mainline several times a
day.
3. So what does that mean?
It means that we should be merging feature
branches into the main branch (master), regularly.
4. Why is it important?
The main aim of CI is to prevent us from entering
Integration Hell, caused by large unwieldy branches
with so many merge conflicts, that it's unclear as to
the working state of the app.
5. How does it work?
The concept of CI was intended to be used with
automated unit tests, written through the practices
of Test Driven Development.
Initially, this was just done on the developers local
machine before merging.
In recent times however, we tend to utilise build
servers to run these suites for us after every commit
6. What else does it do?
In addition to unit tests, CI practices now include
myriad things such as updating documentation,
static analysis, measure and profile performance,
and facilitate manual QA processes.
It also leads us into the practice of Continuous
Delivery
13. Best Practices (cont)
→ Every commit to the baseline should be built
→ Keep the build fast
→ Test in a clone of the production environment
14. Best Practices (cont)
→ Every commit to the baseline should be built
→ Keep the build fast
→ Test in a clone of the production environment
→ Make it easy to get the latest deliverables
18. What is it?
Continuous delivery (CD) is a software engineering
approach in which teams produce software in short
cycles, ensuring that the software can be reliably
released at any time.
It aims at building, testing, and releasing software
faster and more frequently.
19. What does that mean?
Every commit to the mainline (master) should be
deployable and releaseable to the customers.
It also means we should deploy as soon as that code
is merged.
21. CODE ALL OF THE THINGS!
All of the scripts to build, test, and deploy the app
should be contained in the project itself.
22. Separate scripts
We should aim to have a bootstrap script in every
project, that sets the machine up with all the
dependencies required to run the app.
For example, bundle install, npm install, bower
install, etc
23. README!!
The README file should list any large dependencies
that need to be installed before running the
bootstrap script, and also how to install them!
Things like, ruby version, node version, database
server, etc
24. Build it
If your app requires building before it can be tested,
you should create a build script that does that
automatically.
25. Test suite
Every project should have a test suite, and a way of
running that suite.
Create a test script that runs any dependencies for
your suite, and then runs the suite itself.
26. Deployment
Deployments need to be automated
This means we need to have a scripted way of
deploying to the different environments
27. Recap Time
→ Merge regularly into common mainline
→ Run tests every commit
→ Automate everything
→ Keep it fast
→ Test in a clone of production
→ Script all of the things
