Talk on Continuous Integration

Last Wednesday I gave a talk at the local Scrum user group on Continuous Integration. Being that much of the audience was non-developer, I tried to keep it as conceptual as possible, but we even went through some code, both C# and XML, very tentatively. The talk covered SVN, Tortoise, MSTest and CruiseControl.net.

For those who were there, I hope it was worthwhile. I had a great time meeting the user group members. For some details on the talk contents, visit the user group’s site. Go here for my continuous integration slides.

It's a little tricky, but basically you can use an existing license - it's a "per user", not "per p.c." license. For a nightly build you're fine, but during the day one of the devs has to stop working oon his own pc for a few minutes :-P.

There is another interesting approach I saw recently. Haven't tried it out though. You set based on specific build variables whether to use MSTest or nUnit which gives the equivalent of MSTest on the dev p.c., and nUnit in your automated builds. Check out msdn.microsoft.com/.../cc163643.aspx
