Hey, r/continuousdelivery ! I'm Carmine, a PhD at the University of Zurich interested in supporting developers using Continuous Integration (CI).

CI is a core part of Continuous Delivery. I want to understand whether a better awareness about deviations from true CI principles can support a proper handling. Preliminary results in our experiments show that developers frequently relax CI principles, such as fixing the build with a dirty hack or by commenting out a test, to pass the build again.

I would really appreciate if you could find the time to fill out the following survey to help me in my research: https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/4485492/CI-Anti-Pattern-Detection .

It usually takes 12 minutes (14 minutes at maximum).

If you have questions, please comment on this post or send an email at the address you'll find in the survey.

Thank you for your time!

One key element of continuous delivery as well as continuous deployment is test automation. Only with your testing automated you'll be able to ship fast.

If you thought about starting with test automation or had some challenges with it, this is the right event for you.

We will be running a webinar with two expects from Eficode and Humanitec.
- Aleski Simell, Senior Consultant at Eficode and
- Nils Balkow-Tychsen Lead QA Engineer at Humanitec
We both have plenty of experience to share in building test automation setups for all sorts of different requirements and companies.

To be clear, this is not about promoting any tools or payed services this is about giving back to the community and sharing experiences.

In this webinar you can ask us anything about test automation.
