6 stages of incorporating CI into your development and testing processes:

1. Central Build Server2. Scheduled Builds3. Initial Automated Testing4. Metrics5. Heavier Testing6. Acceptance and Deployment


Central Build Server• Teams which do not have central build servers results in all software being created on a developer’s computer, and changes are

not implemented too frequently.

Scheduled Builds• During this stage, the team does work with a central source code repository, but the only thing that happens is code compiled

on a regular basis.

Initial Automated Testing• Here, the central build server is programmed to initiate software builds at the moment the new code is created

Metrics• Automatically created API documentation for the app also lets teams keep up the quality of the code and maintain standards in

the operational practice.

Heavier Testing• This is when Test Driven Development makes an entry, which increases the team confidence with automated software builds.

Acceptance and Deployment• Acceptance tests are automated at early development phases, which gives QA teams a birds-eye view of what’s been done and

what action items still need to be completed.
