Agile
development techniques hearken back to a time when most developers were
able to work on small projects, in small teams, and integrate regularly
with other developers to ensure continued progress. But for most
build/release teams, there's no longer such a thing as a small build on
a single machine. Continuous integration is a very popular development
practice, but to the build team, the words 'multiple (verified)
integrations per day' mean a radical change from the old nightly build
routine.
In this whitepaper we look at the impact of agile development on
traditional build techniques and describe the role of effective,
automated software production systems as the 'heartbeat' of the agile
team.
