Continuous Integration #1

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

For some reason I did not know the wording "Continuous Integration" until today You see, I don't have any XP books in my bookshelf! The meaning behind it has however been clear in my mind for years and I've been personally promoting these concepts/principles/methodologies/practices more or less every day.

However concepts - as vivid they may be - don't mean anything in itself. Nothing happens if nobody is doing something about it (it doesn't just do it automatically smile ;-). So really, a human being must be behind implementing and using it (and therefore a cost is associated with it).

So I've decided that I will try to see how far the C++ community have come with continuous integration. So what are the best practices? And what are the best tools available for this?

Stay tuned...
