Continuous integration

TQM through Test-driven

development

in the engineering process we also specifically praise:

Under continuous integration

project stakeholders have instant access to:

• Latest development version of the system

• Latest version in QA

At any moment of time there are next branches:

1. Mainline — holds implementation codebase

2. QA branch — holds stabilization codebase

3. Production branch — holds production codebase

4. Archive branches — holds old versions codebases
