持续集成

Here’s an excerpt from Thoughtworks on what a typical continuous integration flow looks like:

• Developers check out code into their private workspaces
• When done, commit the changes to the repository
• The CI server monitors the repository and checks out changes when they occur
• The CI server builds the system and runs unit and integration tests
• The CI server releases deployable artifacts for testing
• The CI server assigns a build label to the version of the code it just built
• The CI server informs the team of the successful or failed build

• Continuous Integration (CI): short-lived feature branches, team is merging to master branch multiple times per day, fully automated build and test process which gives feedback within 10 minutes; deployment is manual.
• Continuous Delivery (CD): CI + the entire software release process is automated, it may be composed of multiple stages, and deployment to production is manual.
• Continuous Deployment: CI + CD + fully automated deployment to production.
