Continuous Integration: I Invite You to Break My Build

Wed, 23 April

Tools should aid and help a team to be productive and reach their full potential. We should never turn tools into a stick to punish, but rather into a carrot to motivate and improve the capabilities of teams. In this presentation, we will discuss the dos and don'ts of continuous integration, explore some tools, and learn how to make good use of this wonderful agile practice.

Target Audience: This session is primarily aimed at OpsTech Professionals, as they are typically responsible for setting up and managing CI pipelines, ensuring smooth integration, and fostering team productivity. Software Architects are the secondary audience, as continuous integration influences how systems are designed and maintained, especially in agile environments. Back-end Developers will also benefit from this session, as they are the ones writing and integrating code into CI pipelines, and understanding the best practices can help improve their development workflows.
