COMMON PROBLEMS WHEN
SHARING SOURCE CODE
 Work’s on my machine syndrome
 Didn’t realize I need to test on that

version of ruby/node/etc.
 Pull requests - how do I know if
this will break the build?
 Would love run tests on commit,
but don’t have $$$ for equipment.

CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION
...is the practice, in software engineering, of merging all
developer working copies with a shared mainline several
times a day.
~Wikipedia
...is a software development practice where members of a
team integrate their work frequently
~Martin Fowler

Sunday, January 12, 14
CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION CONTD.
Once the code is built, all tests should run to confirm
that it behaves as the developers expect it to behave.
~Wikipedia
...verified by an automated build (including test) to detect
integration errors as quickly as possible...
~Martin Fowler

QUOTES
What Github did for sharing code, Travis CI will do for
testing code
- Brian Ford, Rubinius, @brixen

I'm sure there was life before @travisci, but I choose
to ignore it.
- Jeff Casimir, Jumpstart Lab/Hungry Academy @j3

I have used many CI systems, but Travis is the most
awesome one so far!!
- Aslak Hellesoy, THE Cucumber Guy, @aslak_hellesoy

AUTO DEPLOYMENT

Sunday, January 12, 14
CONTINUOUS DEPLOYMENT
In the same vein the practice of continuous delivery
further extends CI by making sure the software checked
in on the mainline is always in a state that can be
deployed to users and makes the actual deployment
process very rapid.
~Wikipedia
A natural consequence of this is that you should also
have scripts that allow you to deploy into production with
similar ease.
~Martin Fowler
