Continuous Integration

Continuous Integration (CI) is a development practice that requires developers to integrate code into a shared repository several times a day. Each check-in is then verified by an automated build, allowing teams to detect problems early.

By integrating regularly, you can detect errors quickly, and locate them more easily.

“Continuous Integration doesn’t get rid of bugs, but it does make them dramatically easier to find and remove.”

— Martin Fowler, Chief Scientist, ThoughtWorks

One of the famous CI platforms is TeamCity from JetBrains.
