What is Continuous Integration?

Continuous Integration is Continuous process of applying quality control -- small pieces of effort, applied frequently. Continuous integration aims to improve the quality of software, and to reduce the time taken to deliver it, by replacing the traditional practice of applying quality control after completing all development - courtesy wikipedia.

The main principles of continuous integration are single code repository, automate the build, self- testing build, everyone commits every day to baseline, every commit should be build, testing in production, easy delivery availability, build results are available to everyone and automated deployment.

Benefits of continuous integration are mitigation of bugs much early stage of development, improvement in software quality, reduce project risks, disciplined software development practise and ability to detect defects at early stage.
