Top 10 Rules For Continuous Integration

In this episode Dave Farley introduces his "10 Rules for Continuous Integration” - rules to organise a team to practise this vitally important aspect of modern software engineering. Dave was practising a version of CI in the early 1990s but refined his approach at ThoughtWorks in the early part of this century and is now seen as an expert in this field.

Continuous Integration is more than just build automation. It also demands a change in the way that software development teams organise their work and, when practiced well, introduces a more disciplined approach to software development.

This disciplined approach is even more important when practiced as a component of a Continuous Delivery Deployment Pipeline (CICD). Before Kent Beck introduced CI projects failed simply because teams couldn’t merge their work together. This is not a small change, and Continuous Integration is a cornerstone of any effective CD approach.
