The creator of Hudson, Kohsuke Kawaguchi, speaks to Digg engineering team about the current state of Hudson and what we can look forward to down the road. His comments about Selenium and Hudson are of particular interest to the QA team. There are all kinds of integration possibilities – from custom reports that include embedded Sauce Labs video results to automatically establishing connections between our environments, there are lots of ways to make tests run more often and more quickly through Hudson.

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. This demo-based session will show you how Artifactory and Hudson work together to make it much easier to promote certified builds to milestone releases, and finally to general availability, while making sure all builds are fully reproducible.

Extending Continuous Integration

Published February 16th, 2010 Under Configuration Management, Open Source Tools, Software Testing | Leave a Comment

The talk shows how we can implement a rigorous, yet agile process. It is based around our experiences of putting the good idea of continuous integration and other agile methods into life and using this as the basis not just for the technical process, but for the whole improvement program for our organization. We have expanded our process to cover simulated production as a part of the testing effort. This way, we can guarantee that the actual delivery day will be uneventful. The audience will come away from the talk with a good idea on how to improve their build process. The talk will cover both practical aspects, architectural changes that improves continuous integration, and what change you need to make in your organization to streamline the value chain from a code change to production readiness.
