Software build, test, and deployment automation

Whether it is the traditional waterfall development mode or the agile development model popular in the Internet industry, there must be software code writing, code construction, software testing (code static analysis, unit testing, module testing and system integration testing, etc.), software deployment and other major stages. The traditional practice is often implemented stage by stage through manual input, which is like the traditional family workshop-style manual production of industrial products or the labor-intensive factory processing era. Nowadays, the production of industrial products has gradually moved towards the automatic production line, and the freed manpower is more invested in the product design which can not be replaced by the automatic production line. If we look at the production process of software products, we will find that most of them are still in family workshops or large-scale labor-intensive production processes in China. In foreign countries, especially in the United States, which is leading in science and technology, it has generally realized the automation of software R & D and production process, in addition to the manual participation of architecture and code design, it maximizes the automation of construction, testing and deployment through the automation platform, which greatly improves the delivery speed and cost of software products.

So why is this the next development trend of software development? first of all, let's look at the problems in the traditional software development process:

Software delivery stage dependence large release cycle long depends on individual or small team execution, status update and problem solving

Respond to complex development environments with a variety of applications, development processes, hardware environments and tools

Multi-manual processes are non-repeatable, error-prone, untraceable, and opaque

Low utilization of hardware resources, long-term idle or competition for resources

The above problems will inevitably lead to long software delivery time, poor quality, high cost and other problems, so the requirements for the platform to solve the above problems are basically reflected in the following points:

Software development automation process modeling

Distributed compilation acceleration, parallel test acceleration, one-click deployment

Software development tool chain integration to achieve automatic tool execution and dynamic analysis

Software development related system integration to achieve comprehensive software configuration management

Unified management and scheduling of existing hardware resources

Dynamic monitoring of software development process automatically collects and manages process data based on the same platform

Provide continuous integration, continuous delivery, agile development and DevOps best practices

There are quite a lot of suppliers of this kind of automation platform abroad, such as Electric Cloud, Teamcity, IBM and so on, but we recommend Electric Cloudwww.electric-cloud.com. Most of the world's top 500 companies specializing in software development automation for more than ten years have also adopted his home's solutions. The attachment is the solution.
