AgendaWhat is Continuous Integration and why do I need it?How do I set it up?How do I extend it to meet my needs in the future?

QuestionAre you using a form of source control such as Subversion, CVS, Perforce etc?

Human’s are not good at boring tasks

Running tests is boringSo Running tests manually is boring and you forget.Tests break and you don’t know which change broke what.The longer it takes your to discover a test failure the longer it will take to find the root cause and fix it.So if your too bored to run the tests who will?An Intern? The pointy haired boss? Or…

Your Development Cycle: Multiple team members check in code to your version control system

Have a robot integrate your team’s changes and run your tests to make sure they are compatible.

If they are compatible release the changes to a test org

If they are not compatible and tests fail alert the person who broke the tests and optionally the team. O.K I’m interested. Most popular Continuous Integration server in use today is called “Jenkins”.

Open Source with a rich set of plugin’s available to extend it’s functionality.

They went with the “butler” metaphor instead of “robots” in their Logo but otherwise I recommend itMoving Parts Source Control Repository (Subversion, CVS, perforce etc)force.com migration toolEmail Notification

Lets go ShoppingWe need to download the following:Java JDK http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/javaApache Ant http://ant.apache.orgForce.com Migration tool (via the Setup menu)Jenkins http://jenkins-ci.org/

What’s with all this software?You came to the cloud to get away from installing software. The good news is your actual tests will execute in the cloud using salesforce.com servers for the heavy lifting.No need for a beefy build serverProof: Win XP VM with 1 GB RAM

Java Script Testing with YUI TestHandles: dependencies upon page eventsExecution types: synchronous & asynchronous Simulation of actions: mouse & keyboard

YUI Test – Test Case & Test Method
