Continuous integration involves integrating early to detect and fix integration problems continuously and early phases of the development life cycle reducing cost and time.

CI Testing = Continuous Quality Improvement

This is achieved by setting up a CI build server automatically building the system and testing it as soon as the changes are committed in a version control system. Continuous checks and balances are exercised on the code quality without any delay which will help reduce uncertainties on application quality..

• Developers commit code => Version control triggers an event to produce a new application build => If application build is successful then
  • In response, CI server checks out the latest automation code
  • CI server builds code => CI Server triggers test execution
  • Sends out notification once complete by publishing the HTML results and detail log
  • If build fails => Developers fix the issue(s) and commit code
• The cycle repeats
