A software project cannot be successful without a strategy for code commit or a testing/deploying workflow. Having a strategy is even more important when you work in a team. There is nothing more annoying than working on a messy project where there are no rules or nobody is accountable for the work they have done. In this section, we will explain the most common and successful development practices.
Continuous integration is a software development practice where all the team members integrate their work frequently. Every time new code is pushed to the shared repository, an automated build will be fired to detect any kind of integration errors as fast as possible. The main goal is to avoid long and unpredictable integrations.
