Continuous Integration

A discipline where team members frequently combine their individual work into a shared baseline and verify that the integrated result works correctly with everything else.

Key Points

  • Changes are integrated into a common repository many times per day or at least daily.
  • Automated builds and tests validate each integration to catch defects quickly.
  • Small, incremental commits reduce merge conflicts and simplify troubleshooting.
  • Requires version control, clear branching strategy, and fast feedback to the team.

Example

A product team commits updates in small slices. Every commit triggers an automated build and test run on the CI server. When a test fails, the team swarms to fix the issue before adding new work, keeping the main branch in a releasable state.
