Frequently Asked Questions
What are Continuous Integration tools?
Continuous integration (CI) is the practice of merging all developer working copies to a shared mainline several times a day. Each integration can then be verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible. Many teams find that this approach leads to significantly reduced integration problems and allows a team to develop cohesive software more rapidly.
