State of the art application development tool stacks often include a variety of ALM systems that are disconnected from each other and lack integration with tools typically used by developers. For tasks, Eclipse Mylyn streamlines workflow by providing first-class integration with the IDE. New Mylyn connectors now enable the same integrated workflows for code reviews, builds and version control systems like Git. For example, a developer can use the Mylyn Task List to track a Bugzilla requirement.
Continuous Integration should be the cornerstone of your development project. But have you embraced it yet? Whether you are working on an Eclipse project, in an enterprise development team, behind a firewall or in the cloud or just interested in the buzz around CI then this tutorial is for you.
Using a mix of short overviews and hands-on exercises developers will gain first hand experience from Hudson experts on setting up Hudson for managed and non-managed Master-slave configuration and preparing Hudson for a cloud environment using Active slaves.
Hudson CI server is often used merely as an automated build system and to run tests. But is it at the heart of your development process? Is it providing the fast, self-testing, automated feedback to your development team that increases their ownership of the code and decreases the time it takes for bugs to be discovered and new features to be available to the whole team? Are you overwhelmed by the range and diversity of the plugins available and which will be most effective for your project? Is security an issue for you?
