2. What is CI
“In short, it is an integration of code into a known or working code base”
“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.”

3. Why CI is such a rockin’ thing?

4. Basic Concepts of CI
• The system must be able to be built and tested successfully
• Everyone commits their changes frequently
• Upon Commit the system is immediately and automatically
integrated
• Doing developments in tiny increments

5. How It Works?
• Developers check out code into their private workspaces.
• When done, the commit changes to the repository.
• The CI server monitors the repository and checks out changes when they occur.
• The CI server builds the system and runs unit and integration tests.
• The CI server informs the team of the successful build.
• If the build or tests fail, the CI server alerts the team.
• The team fix the issue at the earliest opportunity.
• Continue to continually integrate and test throughout the project.

• No more Manual push to production
• Bugs and problems discovered quickly
• System is deployable more frequently, enabling more user feedback
