Paulo Caroli speaks about Continous Integration followed by a Question & Answer session on the topic as well as Agile Software Development. Session presented at the IndicThreads.com Conference On Java Technology 2007 held in Oct 2007 in Pune, India.
Traditionally, different modules are developed by different teams/developers and these are integrated
at late state of project. Continuous Integration takes a different approach. Continuous integration describes the software engineering practice of immediately committing every change, no matter how small, to a revision control system.
"Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently, usually each person integrates at least daily - leading to multiple integrations per day. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible. ." - MartinFowler.com

Comment by GUEST on 2008-03-19 11:21:49 It's a great presentation. Though, life does not end at Continuous Integration. Tools like our Parabuild at http://www.viewtier.com/products/parabuild.htm take a step further and provide unbreakable nightly and daily builds in addition to Continuous Integration.
