1. First, a developer commits code to the version control repository. Meanwhile, the CI server on the integration build machine is polling this repository for changes (e.g., every few minutes). 2. Soon after a commit occurs, the CI server detects that changes have occurred in the version control repository, so the CI server retrieves the latest copy of the code from the repository and then executes a build script, which integrates the software. 3. The CI server generates feedback by e-mailing build results to specified project members. 4. The CI server continues to poll for changes in the version control repository.
