It's no secret that most or all of Agile practices are aimed at reducing risk and improving the feedback cycle, right? Eric Ries, co-founder and former CTO of IMVU, is a huge proponent of continuous deployment as a method of improving software quality due to the discipline, automation, and rigorous standards that are required in order to accomplish . Continuous integration aims to improve the quality of software, and to reduce the time taken to deliver it, by replacing the traditional practice of applying quality control after completing all development. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect regularly, every committer can reduce the number of conflicting changes. I've recently read Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk. Duvall, Steve Matyas, Andrew Glover. The question then should be what is the value of the process as compared to the cost and risk? Continuous Integration reduces risk as integration problems are small (as small as the integration frame) and detected early (Of course, it's not the same to integrate 4 hours of work to integrating 3 days of work with a mainline that surely contains much more It helps reducing risk and improves feedback (which leads to a product with better quality). Risks in Continuous Integration. Checking in a week's worth of work runs the risk of conflicting with other features and can be very difficult to resolve. I also wrote the book Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk which won the Jolt award a couple of years ago. Luckily software engineering has developed the process of continuous integration designed to reduce wasted engineering effort.
