WunderFlow: branching
That’s how we manage branches…@see: http://wunderkraut.github.io/WunderFlow/
Continuous integrationContinuous Integration (CI) is a
development practice that requires developers to integrate code into a shared repository (develop branch) several times a day. Each check-in
is then verified by an automated build, allowing teams to detect
problems early.
Continuous delivery➔ Extends continuous integration➔ Deliver frequently➔ Latest changes from develop
branch are merged into master branch and tagged
➔ Changes are delivered to the staging server for QA◆ Tests can’t cover everything◆ Design issues◆ ...
➔ Changes merged to the production branch
Continuous Deployment➔ Perfect project workflow!➔ Merged changes are
automatically delivered to the production server
➔ Can’t be used in every project◆ Depends on project type◆ Client’s requirements◆ Access to production server
might not be granted at all
Usage in agile projects

Building❖ Phing tasks❖ bash scripts❖ ...
Hands on!Here is the link to installation guide.
Pros and consWe don’t need that weirdo guy!❖ Saves a lot of time spent on testing and delivering code❖ Once configured will work continuously ❖ Allows a lot of stuff to be done automatically❖ Agile friendly❖ Less bugs in code -> Client happy❖ Next step to be more professional company delivering
