Build

Continuous Integration is a cornerstone of successful modern development. Running a fully scripted build and a comprehensive suite of tests at every check-in shortens the feedback cycle for the development team, ensuring that potential problems and incompatibilities are discovered minutes and not weeks after a change has been made. A team that practices Continuous Integration can also rely on the source repository to contain a good version of the system, a version that is known to work within a well-understood context and can be used safely as the basis for further development. This track comprises talks that explore the principles of Continuous Integration and the role different testing efforts play in such an environment.
