The concept of continuous integration, also know as CI, aims to meet these goals. Continuous integration is a process used to ensure that newly checked-in code properly integrates with existing code. Each check-in is verified by an automated system with the goal of detecting errors as quickly as possible. The process works as follows. A CI server is configured to detect new code commits to a code repository. When it detects a change, it checks out that code and performs any configured verification steps such as ensuring tests pass. If all verification steps pass, it optionally creates an artifact for further validation, for…
