DevOps pipeline High level overview

• Why do we need to do Continuous Integrations?
  • We do integrations multiple times in a day from day 1 of the project so that we can avoid surpirses during big bang integrations.
  • To perform automated integrations we need tools
    • build/package the code
    • run the tests
    • evaluate the test results
• The idea is perform continuous integration for almost every change submitted by developer(s)
• Open Questions- To be discussed tomorrow:
  • What are the tests that need to be executed?
  • How can code written by developers improved ?
