Continuous Integration
All your code, All the time.
DevOps Explained
Integration, of the continuous kind!
Continuous Integration is the term proposed to define the practice of integrating code changes from multiple developers and/or contributors into a single project – a best practice in DevOps, allowing the frequent merging of code changes by developers into a central repository where builds and tests are run to ensure the code is sound and applicable. Details on CI are below, and you will see that it would be a mistake not to include it in your plans – here at Web Caboodle we are experts on the best practices in the industry, and we pride ourselves on putting 100% into every single project we work on, which means your project will be completed to the absolute highest standard every time.

Continuous Integration: The Deal.
The Development Practice of CI requires code to be integrated into a shared location, often several times a day. Each of the check-ins is then verified by a build and will allow teams to detect problems early on, and this avoids issues arising from teams working apart. This allows for less back-tracking to discover where things go wrong, and therefore more time to build and flesh out features. It also results in a cheaper build, as exponentially less time is used up on identifying errors and fixing them. To use CI brings a multitude of benefits –
Less time debugging and more time adding and building
Build a solid and shared foundation across your organization
No more waiting on implementation, automated builds ensure the functionality.
Reduce time taken to go live, allowing you to deliver in a more timely manner.
Increase visibility and enable greater communication amongst your teams.
