JavaZone 2010 - Getting more out of your Hudson
In this talk, we'll discuss the techniques that go beyond simple build and test, by using Hudson, an open-source CI server. These techniques allow developers to get more out of their investment to CI. This talk targets those who have started using CI and are used to the idea of automated build.
- One of the key themes of a larger automation is to control the flow of changes. This may be between developers in the same team or between different teams. This talk discusses these topics and techniques in details.
- As CI produces and consumes a lot of binaries that are only slightly different, tracking them accurately is important. This talk discusses techniques and challenges.
- Techniques to reduce the turn-around time of a long build/test.
