Two of the important Agile methodologies that we have not said much about in this course are collective ownership and continuous integration. What are the best definitions or examples you can find? Are these widely practiced? Are they controversial? Are there adherents of other design methodologies who consider them harmful? Investigate, through the Web and through the ACM DL.
Continuous Integration
What Is Continuous Integration?
Definition 1[1]
Continuous Integration is a process that yields executable releases that grow in functionality at every release. These releases help the management to identify risks and measure progress and quality .
Definition2[2]
Continuous integration is a software engineering term describing a process that completely rebuilds and tests an application frequently.Continuous integration is accomplished via a serialized build process. At the completion of a task, the developer (or development pair) takes a build token and runs the build process, including tests. If the tests pass, the task can be committed to the source code repository and release the token.
Definition 3[3]
Continuous integration is the name that emerged in the extreme programming community for the software engineering practice of immediately committing every change, no matter how small, to a revision control system. Other developers should always work with the latest version of the codebase.
Definition 4[4]
A central repository for all members of a team, containing: o the latest code (at least) o the latest executables An automated process for building and testing all project assets that: o can be run many times a day o is self sufficient
Advantages Of Continuous Integration
- Latest Code Version For Developers
Entire code is cleaned compiled and built everyday .The final result of the system is updated everyday to reflect the changes made everyday to the system by the code that has been newly checked in. This allows developers and testers of the system to get working software to use as frequently as possible. And in turn this also facilitates further development of the system and encourages more enhancements to the system.
