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

Continuous Integration refers to the practice of committing every smallest change no matter how small  to a revision control system.  


Definition2

Continuous integration is a software engineering term describing a process that completely rebuilds and tests an application frequently.<br> Although the underlying concepts existed earlier, "continuous integration" typically refers to the extreme programming practice.
