Martin Fowler's take on Continuous Integration

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

Martin Fowler, the man behind important software development ideas such as patterns, refactoring, UML and Extreme Programming (XP), isn't slowing down. Instead, he's recently written an article about what he calls "Continuous Integration", or CI for short.

No, I'm not referring to a certain plug-in to Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, but instead of a software development methodology that helps development team communicate and integrate their code faster. Indeed, this a continuation to Fowler's agile development, and thus interesting reading if agile methods and for example XP are of interest to you.
