Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk Brings Theory into Real-World Practice
Reston, VA, June 29, 2007 – 5AM Solutions, a life science software engineering firm, today announced the publication of Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk, by Addison-Wesley Professional Martin Fowler Signature Series. The book, authored by Paul Duvall, 5AM Founding Partner Steve Matyas, and Andrew Glover, provides readers with practical and authoritative information on one of the latest trends in software development, continuous integration to promote quality.
Continuous Integration introduces the concept of continuous integration (CI) and details practical uses of the tools and practices that can allow development teams to deliver production-ready software, everyday. The book includes more than 40 CI-related practices, and examples of the application of these practices.
"Continuous Integration provides software developers guidance that is more than just theory – they can put the CI tenets into practice," said Brent Gendleman, CEO of 5AM Solutions. "5AM Solutions seeks to be the provider of choice in the life science software industry, and employs CI practices to provide our clients with information they need on the progress of their software projects. Steve and his co-authors use CI principles every day – we were thrilled that these efforts led to the book."
