Talk Release Management With Artifactory

Published June 10th, 2010 Under Configuration Management, Open Source Tools, Software Testing | Leave a Comment

In this presentation the Artifactory team demonstrates the benefits of managing your software development life-cycle through continuous integration. Frederic Simon and Yoav Landman show how to automate large-scale multi-module projects using a fully-integrated platform with Artifactory and Hudson. Using Maven, Gradle, or Ivy builds, it is now possible to dynamically automate and manage the pyramidal stacks of Unit, Functional, and Integration Tests.
