Tools for Continuous Integration at Google Scale

Published December 21st, 2011 Under Agile | Leave a Comment

Software engineers rarely invoke compilers and lower-level tools directly. Instead they interact with a build system which analyzes dependency information and then orchestrates the overall build process. Yet build systems are often overlooked by industry and academia. This presents a challenge for large organizations as their code base grows and engineering processes struggle to keep up. This video covers the key insights and technical design elements that enable us to scale the word’s largest continuously integrated code base to thousands of engineers worldwide. Read more

Why I Love Continuous Learning with Continuous Deployment

Published January 3rd, 2011 Under Agile | 2 Comments

Most of us have worked where there’s tremendous effort on planning, anticipating the needs of our customers, testing before release to our customers, re-thinking, re-considering and re-coding. To a developer, the only thing that may seem worse is when there’s none of this. Regardless, we expect to know, in advance what’s true about our customers.What if both alternatives are wrong? What if, instead, we assume we’re ignorant and use our creativity to learn? Then, we’d continually run live experiments with our users to see what works; and gather more metrics than we know what to do with; and continually deploy changes to adapt those learnings. Find out why we worked this way, the results we achieved and the specific tools and technologies we use.

Putting Some Testing Into Your TFS Build

Published November 11th, 2010 Under Software Testing | Leave a Comment

Continuous Integration and scheduled builds are an important part of any development process. To get the best out of these tools, as much testing as possible should be wired into the post build process. With the 2010 release of Visual Studio we get the Lab Manager product that allows us to deploy our automated build to a virtualised test environment for either manual and?or automated testing. This session presents an end to end demo, showing how an application can be build, deployed and tested with the Lab Manager environment.
