The pace of today\u2019s digital world demands a new approach to software development<\/a> and production operations. Consumers expect sophisticated digital products that are easy to use, secure, and available 24×7. Part of those expectations include a system that adapts to their evolving needs. To keep up with customer needs, companies either need to scale up and hire software developers<\/a> or make their existing teams more productive. To achieve this, many organizations are turning to continuous integration,<\/strong> a software development practice rooted in DevOps<\/a> and\u00a0agile methodologies<\/a>. This is why businesses today hire software developers<\/a> with expertise in c<\/span>ontinuous integration is the process of automating the building and testing of source code every time a developer checks in their code. This means that each time a developer makes a change, automated systems help them detect problems early.<\/p>

As is the case with any new trend, some companies are skeptical of jumping on the continuous integration bandwagon. But CI is here to stay and can deliver tangible benefits to your organization.<\/p>

Comprehensive Testing<\/h3>

Local testing<\/a> can fail to show incompatibilities between existing code and newly introduced changes, which leads to production defects and delays. With CI, tests can be run in a simulated production environment that enables development teams to easily identify potential integration challenges before they turn into time-consuming production defects.<\/p>

Increase test coverage<\/h3>

For complex systems, exclusively manual testing is out of the question. By following CI best practices, you profile the source code and identify areas without automated test coverage. Using this information, you can increase automated test coverage and reduce the possibility of defects.<\/p>

After embracing continuous integration, Flickr was able to increase deployment frequency to 10+ deployments per day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/h5>

Increase transparency across the team<\/h3>

CI facilitates easy communication by breaking down barriers and increasing visibility and awareness of build and test results. A transparent process can lead to improved accountability, coordination, and process execution among teams.<\/p>

Automatically deploy code to production<\/h3>

Automated processes can deploy code to production after compilation and successful testing. By removing the human component, this deployment process reduces total testing time, helping development teams focus on critical functionality instead of repetitive testing tasks.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h5>

Reduced build time<\/h3>

Using CI, development teams can minimize build time by executing parallel builds–processing small build packages across multiple machines\/containers. By harnessing virtual and cloud-based systems<\/a>, teams can free up local resources to speed up development cycles and shorten feedback loops.<\/p>

Only 46% of global developers believe their team consistently delivers on time, according to Forrester.*<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/h5>

More consistent and repeatable processes<\/h3>

By relying on automated testing, teams establish reliable and repeatable processes using CI best practices. Development teams can keep up with the pace of business with the knowledge that code changes will be tested and integrated successfully when pushed to production.<\/p>

Rapid feedback<\/h3>

Developers<\/a>\u00a0using continuous integration practices can shorten feedback loops by detecting bugs early on in the development process. Teams can quickly address broken builds and keep critical processes aligned to avoid delayed releases.<\/p>

By adapting continuous integration and agile best practices, HP’s LaserJet Firmware Division reportedly reduced development costs by 40%.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/h5>

Successful execution of CI best practices can save valuable time and money over the lifespan of a project. Organizations should leverage these practices to speed up delivery and software development processes.
