Articles: Continuous Integration
I would like to announce we have implemented continuous integration into our development processes. "Continuous Integration", or CI for short, enables us to automate many quality assurance tasks and is used in all large corporate software development workflows. CI allows us to achieve much more in a short space of time and ultimately deliver better quality releases more often.
The continuous integration server packages and tests each Zikula milestone automatically every time a developer commit new code to the repository. The tests range from coding standards, unit tests and gathering of various metrics. We have not implemented all these testing processes yet, but they are coming. You may visit the CI server at ci.zikula.org.
Those interested to know more about continuous integration should read the article at Wikipedia here, or the works of Martin Fowler on Continuous Integration who has written in depth about the process.

Developers should be integrating and commiting code into the code repository every few hours, when ever possible. In any case never hold onto changes for more than a day. Continuous integration often avoids diverging or fragmented development efforts, where developers are not communicating with each other about what can be re-used, or what could be shared. Everyone needs to work with the latest version. Changes should not be made to obsolete code causing integration head aches.
