There are a number of ways you can monitor the progress of your
Grails build: using the Hudson / Jenkins web app; or leveraging the API:
from your IDE, bespoke API clients or even your enterprise monitoring
client. We’ll look at all of them here and...

I’ve noticed that when other developers talk about “continuous integration” they do not always mean the same thing. The following is an outline of the seven stages of continuous integration based solely on my own experience:

We’ve switched from CIJoe to Jenkins.
I guess we’ve “graduated” to Jenkins, but in retrospect we should have
just used that in the first place. I think CIJoe is fine, we did
thousands of builds with it, thank you CIJoe. But it’s actually easier...

I like continuous integration. A lot. I started being an aficionado
of continuous integration back in my senior year of university . It was
my very first (and last) team project in my college career. There were
three of us. The project manager waited until...

As I’m sure I’ve ranted about mentioned in the past,
Continuous Integration is far more than just a collection of tools and
scripts. It’s “a practice”, a way of doing something, and it has to be
part of our working culture to be truly effective.

I recently went to another C.I. meetup to listen to Tom Duckering, a
DevOps consultant at Thoughtworks, deliver a talk about managing a
scaled-up build/release/CI system. In his talk, Tom discussed Continuous
Delivery, common mistakes, best practices,...

This article is intended to give the reader enough information to
understand what JDepend is, what it does, and how to use it in a maven
build. It’s a kind of cheat sheet, if you like.
What is it?
JDepend is more of a design metric than a code metric, it...

I’ve been going over a couple of posts by Steve Kilner
that question whether Agile methods can be used effectively in software
maintenance. It’s a surprising question really.

A vast majority of daily practitioners of Continuous Integration don't
really understand it. This is a bold statement, I know. But it is not
made to simply capture attention. Most practitioners of Continuous
Integration, when asked, will either tell...

In 2008 at Agile Toronto, I did a session on Agile Infrastructure. This is where I met Andrew Shafer
(working at Reductive Labs). There wasn't that much attention for it
back then, we were still figuring out the impact and ideas. Now 3 years
later, I was...

I’ve been trying out Sonar and it looks great – it’s much more
presentable than trawling through maven sites to find build reports.
Anyway, I decided to install it on the live build server today, and this
is how it happened:
What you’ll...

About a year ago (July 2010), I started
working with my current company. When I started the team were lacking in
process and the process they had was not as useful as it could be for
developers. The first thing I done in that team was to restructure the...

Previously, we talked about choosing the correct infrastructure for

Conquering the Last Mile
I went to the London C.I. Meetup recently where Gus Power (how he
chose a career in I.T. and not as a pro-wrestler with a name like that I
do NOT know) delivered a talk entitled “C.I. The Last Mile”. Gus seems
to have a...
