The key, as the authors show, is to integrate regularly and often using continuous integration (CI) practices and techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe authors first examine the concept of CI and its practices from the ground up and then move on to explore other effective processes performed by CI systems, such as database integration, testing, inspection, deployment, and feedback. Through more than forty CI-related practices using application examples in different languages, readers learn that CI leads to more rapid software development, produces deployable software at every step in the development lifecycle, and reduces the time between defect introduction and detection, saving time and lowering costs. With successful implementation of CI, developers reduce risks and repetitive manual processes, and teams receive better project visibility. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe book covers\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow to make integration a “non-event” on your software development projects   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to reduce the amount of repetitive processes you perform when building your software   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractices and techniques for using CI effectively with your teams   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReducing the risks of late defect discovery, low-quality software, lack of visibility, and lack of deployable software   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssessments of different CI servers and related tools on the market\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe book’s companion Web site, www.integratebutton.com, provides updates and code examples. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pearson Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069880680688,"sku":"9780321630148","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780321630148_p0.jpg?v=1763681824","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780321630148","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
